From the moment Nader and I met Megan on a site visit a couple months before the wedding, we knew her wedding to Benjamin was going to be a chic and sassy event. (If you follow our blog, you'll recall that we posted shots of their wedding venue a few months ago when we met Megan for the first time.)

Megan has a wonderful sense of style and an effervescent personality with an infectious enthusiasm. To handle all the details of her day, Megan entrusted her wedding planning to Rochelle Saenz of Rochelle Marie's Events by Design. She gave Rochelle a general sense of what her wedding vision was, and Rochelle ran with it, creating a beautiful black and white palette, accented by teal and hot pink. The ceremony and reception were both held at Twin Palms, Frank Sinatra's former estate in Palm Springs.

Benjamin and his groomsmen got ready at the Riviera Resort and Spa, while Megan and her ladies received the royal beauty treatment at the estate. Megan wore a unique strapless, silk taffeta Liancarlo gown with stitched ruffles and a sweetheart neckline with metallic Christian Louboutin wedge heels. The color story for the flowers were white with touches of green. The reception centerpieces were bunches of lush hydrangeas from which an exuberance of phalaenopsis orchids cascaded.

Rochelle and her team transformed the estate carport area by draping the sides with soft fabric and laying a black-and-white dance floor that coordinated with the black and white linens. The focal point of the dance area was a tiered, elegant crystal chandelier. Against the back wall was a comfortable couch for lounging and illuminated cube tables. More illuminated bars and cocktail tables glowing in different colors were scattered throughout the estate.

Megan and Ben walked up a petal-strewn aisle to say their vows. After the ceremony, the couple took time to take portraits at the Riviera Resort, while their guests enjoyed cocktails around the piano-shaped pool at the Sinatra house. A buffet dinner was held outside beneath the trees and the stars on the opposite side of the home.

We are so fortunate to have such amazing clients as Megan and Benjamin. We wish them the happiest of lives together!
