In the presence of their closest family and friends, Sarah O’Connor and Kelly Zaun were married at Klentner Ranch in seaside Santa Barbara under a tent of twinkle lights. Because the two love the ocean—Kelly is an avid surfer—a coastal chic vibe was called for on their special day. With sweeping views of the Pacific, oysters at cocktail hour, a surfboard guest book, and Swell Press’ escort display consisting of a fleet of surfboards, the couple’s coastal California vision came to life. Layered Vintage created flowers as vibrant as Sarah’s and Kelly’s personalities, while Wild Heart Events designed a spectacular space, full of color, texture and just the right amount of boho chic. The food did not disappoint, with stations serving risotto out of giant Parmigiano-Reggiano wheels, chefs slicing tri-tip steak and salmon, and delectable greens offered at a local farmers market salad station. The couple wanted their guests to hit the dance floor, so the ceremony florals were repurposed to highlight the band, and a “spicy” dance floor (its color is literally called “Hot Spice”) was created for everyone to enjoy the night under a sea of floating lanterns.
