2. We are ending the day with such a gorgeous
wedding. A wedding filled with flowers that dreams
are made of crafted by Mindy Rice and impeccable
styling by Katie O Weddings & Events. A wedding
with a garden reception that will surely stop you in
your tracks. A wedding beautifully captured by
Clark+Walker Studio. And above all else, a
wedding with a whole lot of love swirling throughout
each and every image. See the full affair right here.
From the Bride… My fiancé Eric and I knew we
wanted an intimate, beautiful pronovias altafulla
and meaningful ceremony to celebrate our
marriage and family. Determining the ceremony
location was harder than I thought it would be, until
my wedding planner gave me the best advice:
“Close your eyes, and tell me where you see
yourself exchanging your vows with Eric.” From
there, we ended up at our family home in
Montecito,
3. California, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It
was absolutely perfect and where we were
meant to be. We knew wanted a day that
was elegant and beautiful but not too stuffy
or formal since we are both pretty laid-back
people. We worked together as a team
throughout the entire planning process with
our wedding planner to make decisions that
best represented us. We set the overall
tone and feeling with our beautiful
pronovias altea letterpress stationery by
The Pink Orange, incorporating colors that
were bold, crisp and clean, from our save-
the-date to our amazing invitation that set
the mood for our gorgeous dinner
celebration at San Ysidro Ranch following
our ceremony. I have never been a huge
“flower person” and was completely in love
with all the succulents Mindy Rice
incorporated throughout the entire day.

5. When guests arrived to the house they were greeted with a signature
“Kumquat Champagne Sparkler” cocktail created by our planner that used
fresh kumquats picked from trees on the property! Our ceremony was
perfect, even as the clouds came rolling in, and one of my favorite moments
was seeing our son make his way down the aisle to us escorted by our
harpist playing “It’s a Small World!” I wanted to make certain I didn’t miss
him coming down the aisle so we all entered before him and he came down
the aisle last … it was awesome! As we entered the wine cellar terrace at
San Ysidro Ranch, it was like we walked into our very own fairytale …
everything was simply perfect! From the individual potted succulent place
cards to the custom-embroidered chair backs that mirrored The Pink Orange
design from our stationery suite. The music by acoustic guitarist, Nikhi
Korula, was exactly our style and set the mood. We even had a first dance
to one of favorite songs he learned just for us! It was magical. We feel so
lucky to have been introduced to so many talented and amazing vendors by
Katie O and love all of the amazing pronovias amanda images and video by
Clark+Walker Studio captured as it absolutely expresses the love and
energy that was present to us that day for our family and friends.
