Palm Springs Magic: Sasha & Tom’s Intimate Desert Celebration
February 4, 2023
Beneath the desert sky of Palm Springs, Sasha and Tom Francesconi gathered 70 of their closest family and friends to celebrate a wedding that radiated warmth, joy, and heartfelt connection at the iconic Ace Hotel.
Sasha’s search for the dress brought a surprising twist. She arrived at Sarah Seven in LA expecting to choose a gown she had admired on Pinterest for months. But when she tried it on, it didn’t feel right. At her stylist’s suggestion, she slipped into a simple satin Sarah Seven gown—and instantly knew. “It was everything I didn’t know I wanted. My friends said I was glowing,” Sasha recalled.
From start to finish, Sasha called the day the best of her life. The ceremony stood out most—sharing their vows in front of loved ones, many of whom had flown from the East Coast, was deeply moving. “Declaring our love in front of those we love most was so special,” she said.
The celebration was filled with meaningful touches, including one very memorable finale—a champagne tower that brought the perfect sparkle to the evening. And choosing Palm Springs, a place beloved by both Sasha and Tom, made sharing the day with their guests all the more personal and unforgettable.
Looking to share her beloved gown with another bride, Sasha entrusted Elegance Preserved to expertly prepare it for resale. After glowing recommendations from her dress shop and rave reviews, she knew their renowned wedding dress cleaning and preservation boxes would keep her gown flawless.
