As summer draws near and wedding season jumps into high gear, we’re elated to reveal our June/July cover, captured where, ironically, a change in season is something couples never have to fear: Palm Springs.

Pulled from the pages of our “Desert Haute” gown shoot by Leah Marie Photography at the La Quinta Resort & Club, our bride is stunning in Rue De Seine’s “Gigi Galaxy” gown from The Dress Theory San Diego and our groom equally dapper in his custom “Classic Black” tuxedo from Suitivo.

Hints of ultra violet—Pantone’s 2018 Color of the Year—reign in the floral palette, with the venue’s blue shutters and decadent décor courtesy of Jake Duke Studios transporting us out of SoCal to more of a romantic reception in Tuscany.

But, who are we kidding? At the end of the day, there’s nowhere brides and grooms would rather wed than in a destination where the sun shines year-round.

Palm Springs, you’re forever our safe—and beautiful—bet!
