An Eclectic Pool Side Wedding At Villa Royale Palm Springs

This Pool Side Wedding in Palm Springs Made Quite The Splash!

You may recognize this couple, Roxanne + Jess, because we’ve been posting a lot about them! From their rehearsal dinner + their engagement photos, to now their wedding! I’m so excited to share all the photos behind this bright, pool side wedding at Villa Royale. This venue is incredible! It has such a cool mix of modern style with the mid-century architecture that Palm Springs is known for. We used a beautiful fountain in the courtyard for their ceremony, then moved everyone to the pool for the reception. Vibrant florals, custom neon and coordinating bright signage throughout the wedding reception brought in all the color. We also used a lot of gold elements to compliment the hotels design.  The whole weekend was such a perfect celebration especially since all their guests stayed on site at the hotel. It made everything easy and allowed guests to feel so relaxed.

A Moment For Disco

There is no denying that disco balls are having a major moment in weddings right now. And I can completely understand why. They make for amazing photos opportunities and offer a major party vibe to the whole event! Roxanne + Jess shared the same sentiment that they wanted their wedding to be a fun celebration of their love that felt like an elevated backyard party, so in addition to the bright neon hues, disco balls were sprinkled throughout the décor on the tables. Then during the reception, Roxanne changed into a glittery skirt to keep the disco sparkle going!   

Congrats Jess + Roxanne! This pool side wedding was one of the books and reinforced my love of Palm Springs! (You can also check out their wedding feature on Green Wedding Shoes here!) If you’re looking to plan your own desert wedding, contact me on my homepage here + let’s chat!

Hi, I'm Kari.
Wedding Planner, Podcaster, & Creative Entrepreneur.

The founder and lead planner behind Feathered Arrow Studio. Over the past 11 years, I’ve designed and executed more than 175 weddings throughout Southern California, helping couples create celebrations that feel deeply personal and beautiful.

My approach blends thoughtful design with genuine hospitality. I care deeply about how a wedding feels not just how it looks. I want every detail to be intentional and every guest to feel taken care of. Together we take your inspiration, your story, and your priorities and turn them into a celebration that feels effortless, welcoming, and unmistakably yours.

Not every couple needs full-service planning, which is why I also offer wedding consults and planning guides for those navigating the process on their own. I’m also the co-host of Just Another Biz Podcast, where we have honest conversations about the wedding industry with fellow creatives behind the scenes.
