Wedding budget tips from the team: We really wanted to demonstrate how being intentional about your styling and vendors can go a long way especially when trying to capture the spirit of Palm Springs but on a budget. Almost all of the items used in the shoot were either vintage, thrifted, or could be attained affordably. When you save on your outfits and accessories, you’ll find a lot more room in your budget to hire incredible vendors to bring your mid century dreams to life with their talent.
