​Brittany and Eddie's stunning wedding at the Bacara Resort & Spa was a destination dream! The couple who lives in San Francisco wanted to wow their out of town guests who all came to Santa Barbara to celebrate and party in style!. From the gorgeous ocean view ceremony to the lavish dinner reception on the Courtyard Terrace to the hip and stylish lounge where they partied the night away under a dome of lush fabric draping, rose colored uplighting and music from an upbeat dance band - this couple went all out for their big day! 

The bride looked absolutely picture perfect in her fitted lace gown with open back, sexy stiletto heels and hair and makeup by the talented artists at Makeup Therapy. The groom wore a classic black tux and white bow tie with a twist - red converse to show off his fun side! The bridesmaids looked glamorous in their gowns which were a blend of deep reds, pinks and purples that popped against their gorgeous floral bouquets from RTTO! 

The rotunda at the Bacara Resort & Spa was transformed into a stylish and elegant lounge complete with white leather couches, chandelier and fabric draping hanging from the ceiling courtesy of BAM Speciality Draping. Rose colored uplights from Spark Creative Events gave the room a romantic feel while the stage and dance floor finished the look and gave everyone a feeling of excitement for the fun dance party that would take place later in the evening! 

After dinner, the guests enjoyed a delicious 4-tiered cake by the talented Christine Dahl, but not before the bride and groom got to taste it first! 

The Los Angeles based band from JMV Entertainment played a variety of popular dance music for everyone to enjoy. The bride and groom got the party started by performing a sultry Tango while friends and family gathered around and later joined in!

Monica and Crister are two of the nicest people and I was so excited to help them plan their country themed wedding! The ranch located in Lompoc, CA  is close to their heart and they knew it would be the perfect setting to say I Do. The private residence boasts many beautiful, natural elements which they incorporated into their big day with the sprawling lavender fields and rustic barn being two of the main backdrops.

The barn was transformed into an intimate, rustic ceremony space complete with area rugs down the aisle, wildflowers and a gorgeous green garland hanging above the altar. The couple incorporated many personal touches into their ceremony with special songs, readings and prayers by family and friends. After, they enjoyed cocktails and tray passed appetizers before leading a parade to their beautiful reception space which was set with long feasting tables, head table, dance floor and sparkling string lights. The 200+ guests were served a delicious dinner from Full of Life Flatbread and danced to music from DJ Bill Egan.  

Monica and Crister's day couldn't have been more perfect! Thank you to all the vendors for making it so special!

Angela and Damon are one of the most fun and lively couples I have worked with thus far! Their sparkling personalities and radiant charm compliment each other so perfectly, it is easy to see how much they love and care for each other. Damon's unique sense of humor and attention to detail was matched perfectly with Angela's practicality and decisiveness. We instantly had a great connection and I knew right away this would be a fun wedding! 

Our partnership began a year before their wedding. The majority of our communication was done through email with very few in person meetings. Their first meeting with me in Santa Barbara was to scout locations, pick the perfect venue and choose a date - all of which was accomplished over one short weekend visit! ​

Both Angela and Damon wanted to give their guests the "Santa Barbara Experience" by creating something unique, elegant and memorable. This destination wedding was an intimate affair with less than 60 guests, all of whom came from out of town to witness their special day. 

 Thank you to all the vendors for making Angela and Damon's wedding so special!
