Montecito Country Club: Caitlin + Jared

I am very excited to share the photos from Caitlin and Jared's fabulous wedding and reception at the Montecito Country Club.  Together with an amazing team of professionals we gave them the Santa Barbara wedding of their dreams. 

The talented Michael and Anna Costa captured all of the event's special moments and Tricia Fountaine did it again with beautiful, brightly colored flowers and decor. Perfect for a late spring/ early summer wedding.

Enjoy!

White rose petals and ribbon lined the aisle...Flower pomador balls with yellow roses and fuchsia hydrangeas hung from the chairs...The bride carried a bouquet of white garden roses and bright yellow freesia...Two adorable flower girls carried moss covered baskets filled with coral petals...Bridesmaids, dressed in coral, tea length dresses, carried matching bouquets with yellow and white roses, tulips and stock.

 Following the ceremony, guests were invited to the main longe for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres where they were welcomed by a custom sign made by Wedding Chicks... Two photo guest books were displayed- one of New York City Photography representing the groom and one of California Photography representing the bride... A console table held a collection of family photos... Caitlin looked gorgeous with her hair and makeup styled by Julie Morgan.

 Guests were invited to the Santa Cruz and Anacapa rooms for dinner and dancing... Hand calligraphy escort cards held photos of the bride and groom at a corresponding age... A creative way to incorporate adorable childhood photos.

 A custom wood stand held the most delicious cupcakes from Robyn Loves Cake... For a fun touch, we displayed silver cups filled with "C" and "J" lollypops as well as hershey kisses- each with a photo of the bride and groom kissing... Gorgeous centerpieces with hydrangeas, roses, queen annes lace, stock, tuplips and champagne grapes decorated each table... Specialty linen toppers from Classic Party Rentals in Allegra Sage and Sunset Crush were placed over the MCC house linen...  Fruitwood chivari chairs from Fushion Event Rental were brought in to replace the MCC's banquet chairs.

After dinner, DJ Anthony Liebetrau of Red Shoe kept guests on the dance floor all night long... Irish Claddagh Dancers made a special surprise performance...But as an even bigger surprise, Caitlin removed the bottom half of her gown and she, her brother and her sister gave their own Claddagh performance.

Congratulations Caitlin & Jared!!!

Santa Ines Mission and Crossroads Estate: Kelly + Matt

Kelly and Matt are such a sweet couple and I am honored to have been there from the beginning. I first met them on the day they were engaged. I was still working for Firestone Vineyard at the time when I received a call from Matt saying that he'd like my help to plan a surprise wedding proposal at Crossroads. Under the pretext of an impromptu venue tour, just in case, he said... Matt scheduled a site visit of the property. He took her to the top of the hill overlooking the pole barn and oaks, got down on one knee and proposed. Kelly said yes! I was thrilled when they asked me to continue their journey with them to help plan their wedding the following spring.

Their ceremony and reception were held at the Mission Santa Ines and Crossroads at Firestone Vineyard. Jennifer Rau Photography captured every special moment and family friend Sharen Crosby of Flowers By Sharen created the beautiful centerpieces & decor.

Enjoy!

Congratulations Kelly & Matt!
