Stunning Oceanside Wedding at Dos Pueblos Orchid Ranch

This was such a fun wedding to plan for Karlen and Chris. We had the pleasure of planning not only the wedding, but also the welcome dinner at El Paseo, rehearsal dinner at Hotel Californian, and post-wedding brunch at Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfroom Resort. For the rehearsal dinner it was all about colorful lounge vignettes and bright citrus centerpieces. Karlen is actually from just south of Santa Barbara and grew up on an avocado farm. Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm with its own avocado orchards, was naturally picked to host the wedding day. For the oceanside ceremony, a simple arbor was dressed with white roses and eucalyptus by Anna LePley Taylor. A bed of flowers on either side of the aisle, seemed to grow up organically.

Dinner was held in one of the many old greenhouses on the property. String lights added a romantic twinkle and long tables were dressed with garlands filled with eucalyptus, blue thistle and white blooms. The groom is in the navy, and for the grand entrance the couple chose to do a traditional salute, it was such a nice personal touch. All was captured by photographer Miki and Sonja.

Intimate Elopement at the Santa Barbara Courthouse

For Ifer and Patrick's sweet elopement the Santa Barbara Courthouse, and it's beautiful bell tower, served at the backdrop for the couple's nuptials. Ifer went with a non-traditional, simple, short white dress and paired it with turquoise mary janes pumps. Her bouquet designed by Ella & Louie, featured her favorite color, pink, and was made up of roses, anemones and succulents. After the I do's, the couple enjoyed a lovely dinner with close family and friends at The Orchid. Feast & Fest served a tasty meal at one long family style table. All was captured by photographer Brittany Taylor.
