Desert Wedding at Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa

Natalie and Chris were married on October 31st, 2020 in Palm Springs. While you may be thinking, “wow, a Halloween wedding?!” it actually wasn’t! The wedding dates just worked out that way. Natalie and Chris met in 2015 on a dating app. While on a trip to Maui in 2019 for his 31st birthday, Chris proposed to Natalie in front of a gorgeous fountain at the @grandwailea!

For their wedding, Natalie and Chris wanted a warm and romantic vibe with desert tones and fall-inspired decor. They absolutely love the desert palm trees and mountainscapes. An open and airy venue was really important to them, so they could have indoor and outdoor space. When they found the Rancho Las Palmas Resort, they were ecstatic! With the San Jacinto and San Bernardino mountains encompassing you, the Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa provides extravagant indoor and outdoor areas to accommodate intimate ceremonies, lavish soirees, and everything in between. They instantly loved the openness of the venue and were so excited to enjoy the beautiful outdoors of the desert, with the reception on the rooftop giving beautiful views at sunset.

On the day of their wedding ceremony, Natalie and Chris exchanged gifts with one another. After recording their personal video interviews, it was time to capture the first look. Natalie opted to do a first look with her father as well, as he wasn’t able to join her when she said yes to the dress. Natalie wore a gorgeous gown from L'amour by Calla Blanche. After the ceremony, the bride and groom as well as their guests headed to a beautiful outdoor space to host the reception. Dinner and drinks were flowing, followed by wedding speeches and first dances. Chris and Natalie finished their wedding night surrounded by friends and family, and were sent off into their future through a sparkler exit!
