An Elegant Wedding at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort in Indian Wells, California

Christine Hurt, 31, a registered nurse and Tyron Brackenridge, 30, a professional cornerback for the Saskatchewan Roughriders (part of the Canadian Football League) were married on  May 2, 2014 at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort in Indian Wells, California. "We were dating off and on for 10 years before Tyron popped the question unexpectedly on our annual trip to Vegas with our closest friends," says Christine. "While we were on the bridge of the Grand Canal at the Venetian, he asked me to look over my shoulder to see something, but it was just a distraction! When I turned back around, he was on one knee with the ring in hand." The two began to plan their outdoor-indoor soiree with an elegant color palette of white and ivory neutrals with pops of Tiffany blue soon after. The ceremony took place outdoors on the Renaissance Esmeralda's Rose Lawn with palm trees, mountains and lush greenery in the background. Afterward, the celebration continued indoors in the Emerald Room, where the ballroom was transformed into an elegant, flower-filled event space. Simplicity and elegance were top-of-mind for Christine, who loved the crisp contrast of the pristine white and bright, Tiffany blue throughout the day's details.
