A Montecito Country Club Wedding ~ Meryl and Andrew
| When I first met Meryl I was giggling inside with excitiment. She was a bride that wanted to test the boundaries and create something amazing for their wedding. And that we did. Meryl and Andrew’s wedding ceremony was stunning. The beautiful Chuppa was custom made by Michael Mantalos of Louloudi Design. The stunningly impressive four post tree was dripping in floral decor and sparkling gems catching the suns rays. Beneath their feet a bed of petals to say their vows. The groom’s family talis lay poetically at the base. Keeping everything clean and white outside for ceremony, we turned up the volume in color for the cocktail and reception. Bold hues of blues, greens, and bright pinks. Oversized guest seating cards rested under a large chandelier dripping with beds and crystal stems. Votives of soft light were suspended throughout the design creating an artistic visual stimulation for their guests. | |

Featured on Style Me Pretty ~ Montecito Country Club ~ Maguire & Kevin
| XOXO BRIDE Coordinator Saralee Franchi gives us Maguire and Kevin’s beautiful and sweet wedding full of detail at the Montecito Country Club. Styled with peonies and roses from the invitations to the bouquets, bright hues of pinks were used throughout the decor. Pretty in Pink is what we label this stunning wedding. The groomsmen boasted ties in stripped pink and white. Our dear friends at S.R. Hogue & Company expertly created depth and textures in the floral designs. For table numbers, the bride chose wine bottles and hand painted the numbers to add a unique and vintage touch. Wine corks were used as seating card holders. Who can resist smiling at a flower girl with a chalk board announcing the bride coming down the aisle! Love it! Saralee gracefully secured every detail of the wedding giving us all the pretty little details to ooh and ahh over. |

Four Seasons Resort – The Biltmore Wedding ~ Jenn & Austin
| Jenn & Austin were so fun to work with on their wedding. Jenn is stunning in Ines DiSantos wedding gown and Jimmy Choo shoes. Her bridesmaids were flirty in French Blue Amsale dresses each uniquely designed to compliment. Jenn’s father gave a deeply touching toast that won the room over. His toast came with gifts as well! He presented the couple with a certificate of a star he named after them as well as a blend of wine. He had the vintage of wine the bride’s parents had at their wedding and the wine the groom’s parents had at their wedding, years apart from each other, blended and rebottled creating a new wine for Jenn & Austin.
Cathryn Van Breene and The Studio Agency provided beautiful hair & make-up to our stunning bridal party. Austin & Dara captured their day effortlessly. Camille of Modern Day Design created beautiful floral inspirations, and our DJ Cory Almedia of Etc. Productions rocked the house.

Natalie & Curt ~ Montecito Country Club
| Natalie and Curt’s wedding at the Montecito Country Club was stunning. They wanted an elegant affair to share good food, laughter and lasting memories with their friends and families. Natalie wore a stunning Vera Wang gown and custom made veil with beautiful Manolo Blahnik bright blue shoes. The couple often greeted each other with loving salutations of “fishy”, so it was only appropriate to incorporate kissing fish as their cake topper. They gave their vows on a custom made wood stage by Louloudi Design in front of the iconic window. The seating cards were hosted on Spanish inspired tiles that each guests took home as a keepsake. It was a beautiful day and Cory of ETC, Productions had them rockin’ well into the night. | |

When I met Donna Small, owner of The Source & Eye a vintage and antiques rental and design house, I immediately was smitten with her. She invited Sidney and Jessica of SBB Gourmet Catering and myself to her home in Santa Ynez. By the end of the meeting we were so excited to put together an inspirational photo shoot! We decided to display all of her beautiful and unique antique pieces, now available for rental, with SBB Gourmet Catering’s creative ideas and concepts on food and styling. We wanted to show how combining great food in unique ways is appetizing for both your eye and your palate. Next step, location. Donna Small was the original owner and builder of the Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse. She has intimate knowledge of the venue and it was only appropriate to feature this gorgeous delectable food and her antiques at such a memorable location. This is truly a one of a kind venue with sweeping mountain views. You have a feeling of calm serenity when you stand on the mountain. It’s a treasured venue to us all and a must see for wedding & events.
Jose Villa beautifully captures the essence that is the Farmhouse throughout his photography. His attentive eye to all things awe-inspiring, allowed us to showcase our vision perfectly.
Joel Serrato expertly filmed the finer points allowing you to feel the emotion and texture to this feast. His ability to capture love on film is inspiring.
Camarillo Bridal recently moved into a beautiful space in Camarillo, CA showcasing gorgeous wedding gowns, shoes & bridal accessories as well as bridal party attire. Owner Pamela Henderson graciously loaned us a stunning Maggie Sottero wedding gown and accessories that made our bride stunning. This is a must see store to shop for your wedding gown.
Cathryn Van Breene of The Studio Agency, in all her skills and talents, provided hair & make-up for our bride. With her vision of soft tones in the eyes, created the look of love.
I was so very happy to have Heidi of Zenadia Designs on board! She created an amazing one of a kind look for our journal invitation and stationary. She wowed us all in her delivery! A BIG thanks to Leslee Sipress for her beautiful calligraphy work on the seating cards. Her skilled and artful hand gave us wonderfull texture in the stationary, I love them!
Michael Mantalos of Louloudi Designs gave us a unique bridal bouquet and blooms to accent this feature.
