When should guests arrive?

We recommend arriving on Friday, May 2nd, to enjoy the day before joining us for the Welcome Party Friday evening. 

Appropriate attire?

Welcome Party: Casual Cocktail

Be a subject for a classic Slim Aarons photograph! Palm Springs is all about bold colors, florals, and patterns - casual and breezy but still has plenty of glamour. Opt for breathable, lightweight fabrics.

Men: Light, breathable button-down shirts or polo shirts with khakis, chinos, or tailored pants. If desired, a lightweight suit jacket or blazer is suggested. 

Women: Sundresses, maxi dresses, or knee-length dresses. Colorful, floral or palm springs-inspired patterns are encouraged! Block or wedge heels recommended due to landscape.

Wedding: Black Tie Optional

The bride and groom are inviting you to step into Palm Springs’ Golden Era of glamour and elegance!

Men: Tuxedo with a black bow tie and formal shoes. Don’t own or want to rent a tux? No worries, a dark suit with white shirt and conservative tie is also acceptable. See here for more inspiration

Women: Midi or floor-length evening gown or formal cocktail dress. Dressy separates also work! Wear the thing you've always wanted to wear but have never had anywhere to wear it. Block or wedge heels recommended due to landscape.

Brunch: Hungover Chic

What kind of weather can guests anticipate?

Expect warm, dry, sunny weather with daytime temperatures in the high-80s (°F) and cooler evenings.

What makes Villa Royale special?

Besides being the place Lindsay and Michael want to share with their family and friends on their special day, Villa Royale is recognized as a Class 1 Historical Site by the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation. You can read more about the history of this almost 80-year-old hotel here.
