The following editorial was made possible with sugar and spice and everything nice with a big dollop of Love from January Rose Bridal. The result is this amazing photo shoot with January’s creations at center stage. Her designs celebrate the delicate beauty of all things wedding–an adornment of head pieces to give every bride the soft romantic beauty she deserves. Also a big shout out to Nancy Teasley of Oak and the Owl for the dreamy floral designs and styling. It would not have been complete without her inspirational backdrops.

It was great to work with Erica España of Twine Events and Nancy Teasley of Oak & the Owl who helped design this most awe-inspiring wedding. This time up in beautiful Santa Barbara’s San Ysidro Ranch. Nancy’s floral designs and candle lanterns were absolutely breathtaking. Nestled in the Montecito foothills of Southern California’s wine country, San Ysidro Ranch with it’s quaint architecture and its sculpted landscape makes me think of a tranquil French village. One of the most beautiful locations I’ve shot by far. Their ceremony was at the romantic Santa Barbara Courthouse Mural Room. It adds a touch of mood and the murals make any wedding feel truly historic.

See it on Style Me Pretty. And see the gorgeous post on Oak and the Owl.

Jenny and Gray wedding featured on Wedding Flowers & Accessories

An honor as always to work with Katy Carrier again on this most gorgeous wedding. Along with Erica España, they made this wedding absolutely elegant, chic, and stylish. The wedding of Lisa and Alan Jackson took place at the Santa Barbara Courthouse Mural Room and reception at the Montecito Country Club. A palette of aqua and yellow and a sundry of scrumptious ornamental designs drizzled all over makes this wedding like an inviting luscious dessert.  For starters, let’s go to the ceremony site shall we? How apropos it was for two prosecutors to tie the knot at the famous Mural Room of Santa Barbara’s historic courthouse. Its ornate cathedral like ceiling and gold leafing makes for a historical ceremonial place.  Next we go to the Montecito Country Club for a dazzling reception room with elegant chandeliers, distressed floors and with an amazing view of the vast acreage of the club. The escort cards display was not only original but ornate and each card was hand written by calligrapher Bonnie Nelson.
And over to the head table, is a display of opulence.  The arrangement from the florals and elegant jeweled candle holders complements the symmetric shape of the banquet hall. All this is not only a feast for the eyes, but for your sense of touch as well. Notice the aqua linen table cover’s lovely paisley pattern? Brought to you by La Tovala Linens.  All is accentuated by light yellow floral arrangements by Cody Floral Design that is balanced and not over powering. Katy along with Erica made this lovely affair a night to remember.
