In the heart of Santa Barbara, California, love blossomed against the breathtaking backdrop of the ocean. I was thrilled to take on planning this wedding for Julie and Shamus, we wove their love story throughout the day and design. The Ritz-Carlton Bacara was the perfect canvas for the white florals with tropical orange and yellow-gold accents.
Julie and Shamus exchanged vows on the manicured green lawn of the Ritz-Carlton Bacara, overlooking the vast expanse of the ocean. The setting was nothing short of a fairytale, with crisp, white florals and perfectly lined cream chairs creating an incredible elevated look against the serene backdrop.
Following the enchanting outdoor ceremony, guests were warmly welcomed into the courtyard, where cheers to the newlyweds resounded with glasses of champagne. A delectable meal awaited, fostering an atmosphere of shared joy and celebration.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, guests were led to the Rotunda, adorned with dramatic lighting and drapery that added an air of sophistication to the evening. Here, the bride and groom cut their cake, marking the beginning of the night's festivities. The atmosphere was one of classic elegance, as the newlyweds shared their first dance.
Julie and Shamus’ wedding design showcased a timeless palette of black, white, and pearls, with clean lines and modern aesthetics. The entire wedding exuded an air of classic sophistication, a true reflection of the couple's vision that I truly enjoyed bringing to life. Each element was meticulously crafted to create an ambiance that resonated with the couple's dream.

Join us as we delve into Dasha and Nick’s Villa & Vine wedding, filled with touches of old Hollywood elegance, citrus-inspired florals, and unforgettable moments. I was truly thrilled to work with Dasha and Nick to plan and design their glamorous, dream day!
The bridal party got ready at the Hotel Californian, where Dasha donned vintage-style loungewear, complete with feathery hems and heeled slippers. Every photograph captured the bride's vintage Hollywood-inspired look against patterned backgrounds and lush decor.
A classic trolley brought Dasha and Nick to the Santa Barbara Courthouse where they exchanged vows in front of the stunning, timeless architecture of the courthouse under clear skies.
Once again the trolley whisked the bridal party and guests away, this time for a tour of the city! Meanwhile, Dasha and Nick had their first portraits as husband and wife taken by Redamancy Photo and Film, who masterfully captured every moment of the day.
At the end of the trolley tour the bridal party and guests were brought to Villa & Vine, where they were met with champagne. Dasha and Nick made their first entrance as husband and wife and were showered with congratulations, excitement, and love. The cocktail hour in the fireplace lounge flowed into the gorgeous courtyard reception. After a dinner buzzing with laughter and happiness, the guests were welcomed into the Arlington Room where the newlyweds cut their cake and opened the dancefloor!
Dasha and Nick's wedding was more than an event; it was an entire day of love, laughter, and shared moments against the timeless backdrops of the Santa Barbara Courthouse and Villa & Vine. Thank you for letting Burlap & Bordeaux be part of your special day!
