Billy Farrell and Bethanie Brady's Desert Wedding
Photo: Aria Isadora Carly Otness for BFAweddings.com1/28For our invitation suite, I chose colors, techniques, and fonts that would set the tone for a wedding weekend in Palm Springs and our reception at Joshua Tree. All of our printed pieces were perfectly coordinated, right down to an ombré moon custom postage stamp.

I wore a custom ombré robe that I had made, a Mara Hoffman suit, and Newbark slides. We filled the pool with silver and gold floats and encouraged guests to wear caftans. No one was disappointed!

I brought enough jewelry, turbans, and caftans for friends to add to their looks if they were so inspired. They’re mostly vintage pieces, except for my beautiful custom Anndra Neen cuffs and Empire choker.
