Bold Seasonal Blooms, Mid-Century Modern Décor and Handmade Details in Santa Fe Wedding Day

When Samantha spilled her latte on Steven during their first date, it was a sign they were meant to be. The pair said “yes” to post-coffee drinks at a scenic little spot nearby, then after spending practically every day together, Samantha said “yes” to Steven’s proposal amid the stunning Rocky Mountains in Aspen. They were married at a private family home in Rancho Santa Fe, where a romantic, mid-century modern celebration filled with nature-inspired details and playful touches highlighted the creative couple’s shared love of ceramics, art and the great outdoors. Bold, in-season blooms (celosia, dahlias and gloriosa orchids, to name a few) lined the aisle, artfully arranged to appear as if they were growing underfoot. A modern, stained glass art piece served as a beautiful backdrop against which the pair exchanged their vows. Afterward, guests enjoyed poolside cocktails—including the Spill It Spritz, a clever nod to the newlyweds’ first date—and chose their personalized mini ceramic tile artwork (each handmade by Samantha and Steven) from a custom plaster seating chart emblazoned with Set In Stone. A rich and layered alfresco dining space awaited, featuring custom arches and elegant draping accented with an unexpected mix of serpentine, round and burlwood long tables
