Wedding | Ruby & Adam

Tell us a little about yourselves!

We are from Phoenix, Arizona where we live in our desert home with our two dogs. Adam owns his own clothing company and also works in creative direction and the food and beverage industry. I own a facial studio and specialize in facial massage. We have been together for 10 years, engaged for 2 before getting married. We met working at a clothing resale store in our early 20’s, became best friends and have been together ever since!

Why did you decide to get married where you did?

We both have an affinity for mid-century design and a love for Palm Springs. From the moment we stumbled across the Frank Sinatra House we knew it was where we wanted to get married. Palm Springs is a four hour drive from our home making it the perfect destination wedding also!

How many guests did you have?

120 guests.

What was your budget? 

$50k.

Tell us about your outfits.

We both wanted to go for a classic look, allowing the house and its gorgeous design to speak for itself. We both accessorized to lean into the theme slightly, Adam wearing 1950’s inspired sunglasses and I styled my look with a bold red lip.

What was the most important aspect for you, in terms of planning your wedding?

The location! We searched for months until we found the Frank Sinatra House but the moment we saw it we knew it was where our wedding needed to be. 

Were there any elements that were important for you to incorporate?

We really wanted our wedding to be more dinner party-esque and not a traditional wedding. We aren’t dancers but we are big eaters, so dinner was the main focus of the night. Having an entertainment element was also important to us, hiring Frank Disalvo, a Frank Sinatra impersonator to perform during cocktail hour was one of the best decisions we made- he was amazing and made such an impact on the vibe of the evening. 

Any tips for couples getting married?

The wedding industry is incredibly overwhelming but also will use the fact that you’ve never been married to their advantage. Research, research, research and be sure to read reviews.

Are there any vendors that you would like to tell us a little more about?

Yes! We are so lucky to have such talented friends work our wedding. Our dinner was by renown chef Rene Andrade, owner of Bacanora and Huarachis in Phoenix, AZ. He set up a wood fire grill and served our guests a 5 course meal. We dined on bone marrow, ribeyes, pasta, grilled vegetables and so much more. The guests were blown away and it was so amazing being able to see the food being prepared as it was brought out. 

Our photography was done by our close friend, Chloe Huls who is not only incredibly talented but also brought the most amazing calming energy. Our photos turned out better than we could ever imagined, and we will cherish them forever.
