Hot Wedding Trends in Palm Springs

Palm Springs is more than just a fun place for bachelor and bachelorette parties. Oh yes! In fact, it’s one of the top destinations for weddings. From its colorful and dreamy wedding venues to its almost-perfect weather, Palm Springs is on the map for a lot of couples who are planning their wedding.

If you’re one of those couples, I’m here to share the hottest wedding trends in Palm Springs right now! Hint: you can’t have a Palm Springs wedding without some sort of pool party!

Colorful Wedding Design

The first thing you’ll notice about Palm Springs is that it’s filled with bright and vibrant colors. We love incorporating that in our wedding designs as well. Whether you add pops of color with florals or maybe even incorporate bright napkins, your guests will feel like they are in a tropical paradise!

Live Bands and Entertainment

They’re back and better than ever! Something we’re seeing more and more these days is the return of live music and entertainment. Nothing says “Party” like a live band to make your boogie all night long. People are ready for concerts so why not bring a mini concert to your wedding? If you’re not into the idea of a live band, consider incorporating live entertainment like an interactive dessert station or maybe something unique like a tarot card reader during cocktail hour.

Pool Parties 

Listen, it’s not a Palm Springs wedding without a pool party! Talk about a “hot” trend - Palm Springs can easily get up into the 100s in Summer and early Fall. Treat your guests (and yourselves) to a refreshing pre or post-wedding pool party with snacks, drinks and a nice cool pool. 

Wedding Planner Tip: this is a great alternative to a rehearsal dinner. You can invite more people if you’d like and serve heavy apps and beer & wine. A pre-wedding pool party is a great way to break the ice with guests who don’t know each other.

Boho-Glam Wedding Theme

Something we’ve seen trend lately is the boho-glam wedding theme. This is a mix between a desert bohemian vibe and a little more upscale, glittery style. The combination makes for a pretty epic wedding design and is so versatile. A few ways to incorporate the boho-glam theme to your wedding would be with:

  • Lush florals - think hanging floral arrangements with pampas grass above your reception tables

  • Chargers - adding a charger at each place setting adds a little glam element to your tablescape

  • Twinkle lights - having twinkle lights or bistro lights in the cocktail and reception areas will level up your event in flash

  • Wedding arch - think beyond the classic wooden arch, get creative with different shapes and textures

Remember, these hot Palm Springs wedding trends are only just ideas to get you started. We love working with each couple to create their own unique wedding vision. Need more inspiration?
