“Equestria West has a stunning sculpture of two birds intertwined, and it felt like the perfect starting point for a celebration about partnership and connection,” says photographer and designer Alexandra Robyn. “From there, we leaned into the playful, sun-soaked energy of Palm Springs with its iconic birds of paradise and vibrant palm landscapes.”
Robyn and Juniper Rose Floral created an exuberant scene awash in fresh, summery colors of soft pink and coral with splashes of key lime green and lemon yellow. Subtle bird motifs were woven throughout the design, from the swan-adorned invitations to the feathery touch in the bride’s hair. Stealing the show are vintage swan vases filled with sprightly arrangements of protea, lilies, dahlias, roses and cosmos alongside delicate wildflowers. “They brought the whimsy and elegance this concept needed while honoring the bird inspiration in such a beautiful, understated way,” she says.
Throughout the design, sculptural anthurium leaves and tropical flora add Palm Springs vibes to the airy blooms. Adding a touch of playfulness are key lime pie shooters serving as escort cards. “With the fresh color palette and thoughtful layers of texture, the tablescape feels like a Palm Springs garden party translated into something timelessly elegant,” says Robyn.
