Love and Rainbow Colors in Santa Barbara

It was all color, laughs, and pure moments at this Santa Barbara wedding. Vibrant florals in shades of bright orange, yellow, blue, and even purple from Fleur de Rye breathed life into the event and that was just the beginning. Events by Fran helped the beautiful couple plan an intimate ceremony at the El Presidio Chapel where extra color and decor are not even needed. The chapel shines all on its own providing clean white architecture on the outside for the perfect first-look backdrop and intricate designs on the inside that leave onlookers speechless. Here is where the pair walked down the aisle to music from Jesse Davis and shared their vows in front of a close-knit party.

Afterward, Mollie Crutcher captured even more photos of the couple with their family and friends with the bride in her sleek off-the-shoulder gown by Jenny Yoo and the groom dressed in navy from Friar Tux. La Paloma Cafe, located in downtown Santa Barbara, was the perfect choice for a cozy yet lively reception with its quaint outdoor patio. For the party, its wooden tables were decorated with modern flower centerpieces, floral-designed signs and menus, and tinted glassware. The couple’s cats were also incorporated into the celebration, each with their own dedicated specialty cocktail and shown joining the couple on top of the cake baked by Lele Patisserie. The day had all the makings for the most memorable and personalized wedding for the bride and groom, and it certainly delivered.
