We blogged about the beautiful French-countryside style Sunstone Winery a while back. Recently, the winery opened up the adjacent Villa for events. Fred and Linda Rice designed and built a house from which to watch the four seasons that will become even more beautiful with age, a living piece of history.
The Villa has five suites, each with private entrances and a view of the Santa Ynez mountains and Sunstone vineyards. A bit of moss is beginning to grow on the stone at the foot of the front door. Nature is putting its own mark on the Villa, as was intended.
Reclaimed materials, such as French limestone, hand-formed roof tiles, a fireplace from the Bordeaux region of France, enormous hand-hewn pine beams from Queen Victoria’s lavender factory, a prison cell door from Normandy constructed during Napoleon’s reign, and a thousand-year old limestone kitchen sink were all incorporated into their dream building. Walking through the Villa is an opportunity to see and touch pieces of history.
Available to rent partially or in its entirety, the Villa is a stunning location to stay the week-end while enjoying a week-end of events.

We recently spotted these handcrafted driftwood hearts on Etsy by Madera del Mar! Made in Santa Barbara from local driftwood of course they seemed the perfect accessory for any beach-y Santa Barbara summer wedding! If your not a fan of hearts they offer an assortment of other shapes and sizes too–they will even do custom orders.
It might be a bit early in the season for dahlias, but I couldn’t resist sharing this gorgeous bouquet, bursting with all the warmth of a summer’s day. Succulents and dahlias are always the perfect pair for a Santa Barbara summertime wedding.

The hours I spend with you
I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden,
a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it.
You and you alone make me feel that I am alive.
Other men it is said have seen angels,
but I have seen thee and thou art enough.
