Sacred Sands in Joshua Tree has to be the winner of our most unique venue choice of the year award. As you will see in the photos below, Sacred Sands is out in the middle of the desert. Like, really out in the middle of the desert. True story: as we were parking the car Joe said “Wow! This place is really off the beaten path! I wonder if we will see any snakes or anything.” Not 15 seconds later we saw a snake making its way around the property fence! Don’t let that story give you the wrong impression though. Sacred Sands and Joshua Tree are absolutely gorgeous! It was especially perfect for Lindsey and Dave. They are a sweet, kind of reserved, creative, outdoorsy, adventure loving type of couple. So, a small, intimate, Joshua Tree wedding was the perfect choice for Lindsey and Dave’s wedding celebration. They also had the awesome idea of having their guests write wishes for them as a couple and attach them to a wish tree. At the end of the night they tossed the wishes into a fire and the resulting fire and smoke was a really cool and passionate metaphor for the wishes being released out into the world to take action. What a fun idea!
