Garden Micro Wedding in the Santa Barbara Hills
Today’s featured wedding was a celebration in style at the Belmond El Encanto - an iconic hideaway balanced in the Santa Barbara hills. Wedding photographer Chris J. Evans captured the moments as the bride walked into the ceremony and as the couple was married by Judge Brian Hill.
The bride wore a lace wedding gown in a trumpet silhouette with hair and makeup done by Brianna Olcese, while the groom cleaned up handsomely in a navy suit with a light blue tie.
To add to the romance of the day, the couple’s ceremony was held in the picturesque garden between the reflective pond and a wedding arch crafted beautifully by Ella & Louie which complemented the natural beauty of the venue with its tall trees, lush greens, and brick structures.
At the reception, Town and Country Event Rentals, Ella & Louie and Ambient Event Design worked together to create the perfect setup featuring stunning views.
The Alegria by Design Santa Barbara wedding planning team designed the event and helped to create a stunning environment for both the ceremony and reception.
Guitarist Chris Wooley provided the ambiance for the evening while Lele Patisserie provided dessert in the form of a naked wedding cake adorned with succulents and a gold topper. Before the night’s end, the couple was able to snap a few awe-inspiring photos by the venue’s pool against a colorful sky background.
