Lindsey and Brian tied the knot during an oceanside ceremony at the beautiful Bacara Resort & Spa, with endless sweeping views of the sea as a gorgeous backdrop for their Santa Barbara wedding. Crisp ivory accented with hints of blush and pink made for a light and airy color palette, with pops of gold adding an elegant feel. A beautiful bouquet of ivory peonies and textured greenery by Coco Rose Design blended seamlessly with the stunning ceremony arbor, while romantic flower petals lined the aisle. A sophisticated reception design highlighted simple glassware and light metallic accents, creating a luxurious yet laid back space to celebrate the new bride and groom.
From the bride:
"When it came to planning our wedding, Brian and I were very excited but overwhelmed with the amount of details involved and decisions to be made. The most important of all was the venue. We wanted it by the beach in Santa Barbara and a venue that allowed us to dance until the wee hours of the morning. Once we visited Bacara Resort, we instantly fell in love. The location we chose had the perfect combination of an indoor/outdoor flow and not to mention the breathtaking views of the Pacific during the ceremony. The next hurdle was nailing down design. Brian and I are both very laid back so we wanted a fun and comfortable atmosphere yet upholding style and romance. With the help of Amber Weir and our hard-working team of vendors, they were able to bring our image to life.
The design had a timeless elegance yet felt very current. There was a focus on the ambiance of lighting which was carried out in the abundance of candles, lanterns, overhead bistro lighting, and hanging chandeliers in various designs and heights. We chose the timelessness of whites and cream tones in the florals and stationary, and a lace pattern in both the invitations and linens. The space had the elegance of the lush champagne draping and cut crystal glassware. The greenery in the florals balanced classic and modern, as well as the sleek floating candles and varying centerpiece designs.
We also incorporated fun features such as a smores station, an after party with casino tables and various self indulgent foods; as well as the most rocking band that brought pure entertainment to the entire evening,The Golden Coast All Stars. They kept everyone on the dance floor in which Brian and I were thankful for changing into our favorite Converse to aid in our finest dance moves.
Truth be told, if we could live this day again, we'd do it exactly the same way! It was a seamless rendition of the love we share with each other and our closest friends and family."
