Montecito Estate Wedding

Cora and Charlie

Cora and Charlie’s wedding was designed around the intimacy of a dinner party and the energy of a night spent dancing with your favorite people. The property’s character set the scene for a celebration that felt refined, whimsical, and full of personality.

A Personal Approach to Wedding Design

Together, we co-created a world of sculptural details, natural stone, vintage silver, and playful, unexpected touches. A palette of white, silver, and black brought clarity to the design, while sunflower yellow, hunter green, and espresso added warmth and depth.

A “less is more” approach gave each element room to make an impression. Minimal tablescapes balanced texture and dimension, creating a setting that felt thoughtfully styled and inviting.

From an Intimate Dinner to a Spirited Dance Floor

Family-style dining anchored the evening, inviting guests to settle in, share dishes, and spend time together. The design supported that feeling of ease, with considered details that complemented the setting and kept the focus on the people around the table.

Every choice returned to the same intention: a wedding that felt unmistakably like Cora and Charlie.
