Courtney & Rob

You difinitely can't go wrong with a wedding or special event in Santa Barbara! We just designed a wedding at the beautiful Casa Bella in Hope Ranch for Courtney and Rob. To play off of the beautiful architecture and style of the house the bride chose a golden yellow, black and off white theme, melding some custom traditional touches with a bit of modern glam. The bride carried a bouquet of lush garden roses, miniature calla lilies and was accented with dark chocolate fern curls to add some striking contrast in color and form. Her 9 bridesmaids wore rich creamy yellow toned dresses and the bouquets of yellow roses, white phalenopsis orchids and fern curls complimented perfectly.

For the ceremony we did not want to compete with the gorgeous ocean and cypress tree backdrop so we designed a simple black canopy structure with flowing ivory chiffon and drops of crystals accented with yellow cymbidium orchids on the back portion. It was lovely when the soft breezes shifted the fabric ever so romantically. The aisle was completed with a dramatic scrolling pattern of bright yellow rose petals- a perfect contrast to the greenest grass I ever saw and the black chiavari chairs.

For a crisp, semi-modern twist on the tables we did a combination of vignette style centerpieces and single low centerpieces on each table. All the vases were wrapped in black dupioni silk with a satin band anchored by a rhinestone broach. Single variety floral combinations (golden mocara orchids, Skyline and Aalsmer gold roses, golden china chrysanthemums and gold cymbidium orchids) filled each separate vase for a cohesive and full table top design. Chunky black candle sticks with pillar candles and votives completed the design. For the sweetheart table, the bride wanted an intimate canopy for just her and her new husband. A wrought iron and crystal chandelier complimented the black and ivory chiffon canopy and the multiple candles added the perfect amount of romance and coziness.
