A wedding at La Quinta Resort has a lot going for it. Allie and Ryan’s day mixed real elegance with an easy, warm feeling, the kind of celebration that stays small and personal but still looks like a dream. Tall palms overhead, late-day sun on the green lawns, their closest people around them, and Palm Springs wedding hair and makeup that held up through all of it.

Allie has that kind of glow that does most of the work for you, so our job was simple: keep her makeup soft and polished and let her look like herself on her best day. Her hair fell in loose, undone curls that suited her floral gown, a real showstopper with embroidery that looked made for the moment. Her bridesmaids and family were done too, each look their own but all clearly part of the same day.

Their ceremony sat between the palms, framed with florals in warm autumn tones, with just family and friends watching. The flowers felt loose and organic, at home in the desert but still refined. When Allie and Ryan had their first kiss as a married couple, you could feel the joy in the room.

From golden hour portraits to a candlelit dinner under the stars, the whole evening felt warm. Guests sat at a long table set with candles and textured florals. There were toasts, plenty of laughing, and an outfit change for Allie, who traded her embroidered gown for a gold dress that caught the light while she and Ryan danced.

At Elwynn + Cass, we think beauty is bigger than makeup. It’s feeling confident and fully in the moment. We were honored to be part of Allie’s day and to watch all that love and joy up close.
Congratulations, Allie and Ryan.
