San Ysidro Ranch- Kathy's 50th!!

I had the great honor of helping one of my favorite Santa Barbara families plan a fabulous 50th Birthday celebration at the San Ysidro Ranch last Saturday.  Kathy, you look amazing, happy happy birthday! 

Here's a sneak peak of the photos taken by my good friend, the ever so talented Kacie of Kacie Jean Photography.  The photos are incredible and you really captured the joy of the evening.  Tricia Fountaine, once again blew us away with the gorgeous floral design... the mantel... really?  OMG!  So beautiful!  Shani and her team at the San Ysidro Ranch hit a home run.  I had the pleasure of joining in the celebration and the food was so yummy!  That salad and those cupcakes, wow!  Trevor from Bella Vista Designs created an LED pink light show in the clear tent provided by Classic Party Rentals.  Jon Francis from Anthony Ybarra Music set the mood while playing guitar in the wine cellar during the cocktail reception and Scott from Scott Topper Productions added to the fun in the Hydrageas Cottage and Terrace by deejaying and keeping the dance floor full all night.  He also provided his Action Photo Booth which we set-up in the Adobe... complete with crazy props.  Lastly, Heidi of Zenadia Design and Nicole of The Left Handed Calligrapher provided the pretty letterpress and calligraphy invitation, menus, signage and escort cards.

Thank you to everyone for helping to create such a special evening for Kathy, her friends and her family.  I can't wait to do it again.
