Settle in to enjoy this picture-perfect Santa Barbara wedding with us. All started at the Santa Barbara Courthouse—one of the city’s most popular spots to host a ceremony and also to put on a quick photo shoot amongst the buildings Spanish-inspired architecture, stone walls, and lush exterior. Ali Beck Photography did just this with today’s bride and groom. This is also where the bride showed off her sheath wedding gown with off-the-shoulder puff sleeves and gorgeous long veil with embroidered details along the edge. For the groom, the dress code was black tie as he wore a classic tux and bowtie.

The bridal bouquet, crafted by Ella & Louie, was also a high point. White roses and other full blooms were accompanied by greenery which cascaded down in an asymmetric but eye-catching manner. Also at the ceremony, music was provided by Chris Wooley and Judge Brian Hill presided over the event.

Later a reception was held at The Craft House Inn, a quaint bed and breakfast located in the heart of downtown. In the garden, wedding planners at Santa Barbara Elopement, helped to set up a gorgeous tablescape. A long wood king’s table was decorated with neutral linens and dinnerware, woven rattan chargers, and ribbed glassware. Ella & Louie also came through again with breathtaking centerpieces which mimicked the bride’s bouquet. Check out all the details below and don’t miss the charming place cards and menus also visible on the reception table.
