1. Project 1: plan a social event or wedding

2. The couple + their style
I am planning a wedding in the Palm Springs area for a young couple, Shae and Luke, this upcoming Fall. They have been together for 3 years and recently got engaged after hiking together in Joshua Tree National Park. They are a very active and down to earth couple who would like a non-traditional, laid-back, tiny wedding with only their closest family members and friends to celebrate with them, which will also help keep them below their budget of $25,000. They would like to be outdoors for both the ceremony and reception and we are going with a bohemian styled wedding which is perfect for the desert. The primary colors will be a coral-pink and light blue. The secondary colors are mustard and stone/light-grey. Lastly, the accent colors will be charcoal and copper.

3. BRIDE + GROOM attire
Unique, boho wedding gown that fits the bride well and is unique to her and her wedding style. For the men, a burgundy or burnt orange suite to go with the style of the wedding as well.

4. ANTICIPATION
Invitation suite that includes colors from the palette to match the theme of the wedding. Done by a local calligrapher.

5. arrival
A vintage car or Volkswagen bus would be the perfect form of arrival for the bride and groom to their bohemian wedding!

6. atmosphere
Small outdoor space just big enough for guest tables, a dance floor, and all sorts of fun!

7. appetite
Gorgeous wedding cake and some pizza, pasta, and salad for dinner.

8. Amusement
Live music and a photo booth bus for guests to enjoy throughout the day!

9. accessories
Simple but elegant pieces of jewelry, lingerie set, shoes, and a gorgeous headpiece with a floral crown attached to the veil.

10. appreciation
Small wedding favors to present at the reception that will include succulents and customized candles.
