Set against a sunset and swaying palm trees, the wedding of Ariana Geiderman and Jake Abt began the next chapter of their love story. Empire Polo Club was an easy choice for the couple, whose shared experience of escaping to Palm Springs during their youth garnered a special affection for the magical spot. Inspired by Old Hollywood and royal gardens, the event exuded glamour while also containing traditional aesthetics that remained uniquely the couple’s own. Ariana donned an exquisite off-the-shoulder Vivienne Westwood gown that highlighted the designer’s trademark structure and drapery. Jake, in a well-tailored tuxedo, stood misty-eyed under a grand floral chuppah as he watched Ariana walk down the lush flower-bordered aisle alight with the golden hour’s glow. Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a picturesque cocktail hour, which featured fresh citrus and seafood fare, before entering the reception. There, crystal chandeliers accented with champagne-hued drapery warmly illuminated the tent. Paying special tribute to the bride’s belief that she was a princess in a past life, Jake and Ariana cut their richly floral-cake with a sword worthy of a prince. Soon, the marble checkered dance floor was full of guests wearing party props ranging from cowboy hats to angel wings as they danced along to vibrant music performed in celebration of Ariana and Jake’s love.
