Palm Springs Wedding Rehearsal at a Private Estate: A Night to Remember

Amy and Daniel’s Palm Springs wedding rehearsal was a night to remember, filled with elegance, vibrant colors, and a touch of exclusivity. Set at the breathtaking Beach Dunes Estate, this private estate in Rancho Mirage offered an unparalleled backdrop for their pre-wedding celebration.

As the guests arrived at the estate, they were greeted by the serene beauty of this expansive two-acre property. Located in one of Rancho Mirage’s most exclusive enclaves, Beach Dunes Estate is a spectacular private gated estate that boasts beautiful grounds and a resort-like setting. The estate features a private swimming pool and spa, surrounded by cushioned lounge chairs, two outdoor gas fire pits, professional sport courts, an outdoor kitchen, a private pond, an 8-hole putting green, and panoramic mountain views.

The rehearsal evening was characterized by a sophisticated dress code: all guests were requested to wear black, navy, or gray. This elegant palette allowed Amy and Daniel to truly shine, as they donned bright and bold outfits by Trina Turk and Mr. Turk, capturing the quintessential Palm Springs spirit. The contrast between the guests’ muted tones and the couple’s vibrant attire created a striking visual impact that was simply unforgettable.

Inside the estate, the contemporary design with walls of glass and a gourmet kitchen set the stage for a lavish rehearsal dinner. The modern interiors provided a chic ambiance that perfectly complemented the outdoor beauty of the estate.
