Santa Barbara Villa Wedding
Ceci & Carlos
Set in the hills of Santa Barbara, Ceci and Carlos’s wedding brought the romance of a European garden to a private California villa.
European Garden-Inspired Wedding Design
Together, we co-created a setting that paired coastal influence with a European garden aesthetic. Soft neutrals and deep burgundy gave the palette warmth and depth, while layered linens, vintage silver, and sculptural, draping florals added texture and movement. Each detail contributed to an atmosphere that felt romantic, relaxed, and thoughtfully considered.
A Garden Ceremony and Dinner Under the Sky
An ethereal floral backdrop framed the ceremony before guests gathered for dinner on the lawn. The evening carried the same sense of intimacy from one setting to the next, making room for conversation, connection, and celebration.
Cocktails honoring family traditions brought personal meaning to the experience. Every choice came together to create a Santa Barbara wedding that felt authentic to Ceci and Carlos.
