A Fairytale On NYE

My husband and I like to joke, that attending our wedding probably felt as though Kate Spade herself was attending a New Year’s Eve party hosted at Disneyland. That is, if Disneyland were set in a mod southwestern hotel, in the early 1920’s.

We were inspired by many different facets, from our obsession with fairytale romance, the richness and warmth that a golden color palette can bring, paired with a little Gatsby, a little Disney, and a whole lotta' love.

Setting The Mood

Candlelit and intimate, the ceremony took place in a Plan B location after the weather did not cooperate. The bride wore gold, and the groom wore midnight blue, the couple said “I do” under a gigantic gold sign, with a nod to the midnight hour and a certain fairytale come true.

he reception was held in the Ballroom, with 180 black taper candles lighting the mood. Gold sequin runners, hand-made by the mother of the groom, paired with West Elm candelabras, created a darkly beautiful space.

Belly Up To the Bar

Presented in vintage cut mercury glass, this bar was the perfect place to make your midnight confetti mix. After all, at the stroke of midnight, many fairytales have come true. The guests covered in confetti are some of my favorite captures, and bathing in confetti in the desert sand was a blast.
