Jubilant, Sunset-Hued Wedding Day at Merv Griffin Estate in Palm Springs

Leaving no detail overlooked for their special day, Amy Gowing and Edward Klumpp married the desert vibes of Palm Springs with a classic East Coast style, tying the knot at the stunning Merv Griffin Estate. The couple, both dressed in classic white wedding attire, made a chic statement against the vibrant color palette of sherbet and sunset hues. Guests were greeted with welcome totes filled with Amy’s and Eddie’s personal favorite items, which included Mountain Sweet Berry Farm chips from New York’s Union Square Greenmarket and homemade cactus-shaped cookies from Amy’s mother. Amy and Edward exchanged vows outdoors beneath towering palm trees and with the gorgeous Santa Rosa Mountains in the distance. Abundant florals lined the aisle, and a curved ceremony setting had been designed to look as if the flowers were sprouting from the lawn. To honor Amy’s grandmother, pussy willows, which were her favorite flora, were included in the arrangements. The reception was awash in shades of coral, orange, peach and cream, perfectly complemented by potted cactuses and rattan-back chairs. The floral designs were the stars of the event, especially the arrangement hanging above the 34-person head table. It featured velvet and rattan lanterns draped with greenery and Layered Vintage’s signature flower “chains.” Later in the evening, guests took a break from the dance floor to recharge at the espresso martini station. “Our favorite photo was captured, unbeknownst to either of us, while dancing with espresso martinis in hand,” says Amy. “Every time we see the photo, we are transported back!”
