Amanda & Marlan’s Enchanting Micro Wedding at Villa & Vine

Under the golden Santa Barbara sun, Amanda and Marlan said “I do” surrounded by soft romance, sculptural florals, and old-world elegance at Villa & Vine—a dreamy courtyard oasis brought to life by Brooke of Burlap & Bordeaux. As their wedding planner, designer, and luxury florist, Brooke curated every moment to feel intimate yet grand, timeless yet refreshingly modern.

A Garden-Courtyard Ceremony Dream

Amanda glided down the aisle in a lace-detailed gown, meeting Marlan beneath a floral arch that echoed the venue’s natural charm. Guests were seated on classic wooden cross-back chairs, flanked by low floral arrangements blooming with garden roses, ranunculus, and airy wildflowers in creamy ivory, blush, and muted mauve.

The aisle created a soft runway effect with petals lining the runway.

Reception Under the Stars

As dusk fell, the courtyard transformed into a twinkling open-air reception, where long banquet tables dressed in soft linens were adorned with lush, organic floral centerpieces. Neutral tones of taupe and ivory were punctuated with rich blush blooms and flickering candlelight—creating a cozy, upscale ambiance.

The reception design reflected Burlap & Bordeaux’s signature blend of minimalism and opulence. From the sculptural arrangements to the curated place settings, Brooke’s eye for balance made the space feel elevated yet inviting.

Details that Danced with Emotion

Amanda & Marlan’s celebration was filled with those pause-worthy moments—tight embraces, joyful tears, heartfelt toasts—all made richer by the intentionality of the design. The photography captured editorial-style couple portraits, dreamy close-ups of floral textures, and the venue’s Mediterranean-inspired architecture, staying true to Burlap & Bordeaux’s visual storytelling style.

A Love Letter to Santa Barbara Style

Brooke brought together every detail with the kind of effortlessness only a seasoned Santa Barbara wedding planner could deliver. Whether you're seeking a LA wedding planner who travels with taste or a luxury florist with a poetic eye for florals, Burlap & Bordeaux is the name to trust for your once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
