Thank You Montecito Journal

We are so thankful to be supported by one of our local magazines who has chosen to feature us again in their wedding section called "Montecito Matrimony." There are some gorgeous events in the magazine and  if you live here in town please make sure you grab a copy off the stands!

Here is a sneak peak of the Michelle and Michael's wedding that took place in the gardens at the historic San Ysidro Ranch. One of the most stunning and romantic places in Santa Barbara!

We Have Been Featured on Style Me Pretty Today!!!

There may not be a uniform in sight, but the Military Groom is present in this Santa Barbara fete. Soon to be sent over seas, this couple set out to plan a gorgeous wedding full of LOVE and worthy of every single last squeal heard around the office today. Bliss Photography captured all the monochromatic flower gorgeousness crafted by NLC Productions, not to mention the overall design perfection by La Fete. There’s really nothing not to love in this modern and drop dead gorgeous day.  Click here for more.

From La Fete…When Ashley first met with me, she told me she wanted her wedding featured on Style Me Pretty. She had wonderful taste from the start and always held on to her vision from start to finish. She wanted an open-air canopy with flowing white fabric overhead, with the works! Crystal chandeliers, candlelight, a big white dance floor, along with abundant yet simple white flowers. As the designer and planner I had a fabulous time working with Ashley, she knew exactly what she wanted which made decision making and the planning process a dream. But don’t get me wrong we definitely ran into a few hiccups. Due to a high profile event, her wedding was FORCED to change locations, and as if that wasn’t enough, she found this out on the day her fiancé was being sent overseas in the military!

So it was up to me and the old location to work something out for my poor bride and that is when the sun comes out in this story. We were able to get her the most INCREDIBLE location. Honestly a dream location with a huge private polo field and an extraordinary compound off in the distance. We are talking 360 degree views of mountains, mansions, and the Pacific Ocean. I knew she would love it and the second she walked on that property she knew she had really lucked out! We went with a simple color palette of slate grey, and white but added all the glamour with the overhead fabric and chandeliers. We were working with a tight budget on this event, and I would say she really got a BANG for her buck. These images were provided by Mishelle Lamarand from Bliss Photography, and honestly she is insanely amazing. She calls herself one of the only “natural light photographer” and its really incredible to see how she works with lighting and I’m sure you can tell. I really hope you enjoy this event!

Jill and Josh's Santa Barbara Estate Wedding

 

We met and within 4 months we organized and designed this intimate family style tuscan wedding!

Jill had amazing taste and wanted many items personal and custom.  We found Archive rentals and they made our tables and provided the different china patterns for each of the tables.  Good Gracious provided the delicious food stations and served the guests table side with a gorgeous family style platters.  

Her father helped with the making of her cake, since he had made her birthday cakes for her as a child.  It was the most beautiful Summer day at the estate on the ocean called Terra Bella!  The guests mingled wine tasted and enjoyed the fun music provided by Dwight Kennedy.  Josh is a singer/ songwriter, and instead of dancing with his bride he took the stage and sang the song "All Shook Up" to her, which as you can see she loved!  

Thank you Joe Bussink for the amazing images of this fun event, we did sneak a few in of our own we shot that day too.
