Modern Wedding with a Refined Aesthetic and Pops of Purple
We are in love with today’s fun yet elegant wedding organized by award-winning Santa Barbara event planner Felici Events. Set at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, many talented vendors came together to pull off a truly gorgeous event.
Santa Barbara’s Ella & Louie provided exquisite floral designs which decorated both the reception and the ceremony, not to mention the bride’s stunning white bouquet. Ashley Taylor Photography took photographs all day long, capturing the bridesmaids’ simple violet dresses to the performance by Ignacia Lopez and his Paraguayan Harp at the reception, and everything in between. The most adorable flower girl preceded the bride as she entered the ceremony in a detailed mermaid-styled gown and met her groom, dressed in classic black, to tie the knot.
At the reception, Catering Connection stole the show as guests all gathered at one large king’s table. Hors D’oeuvres were served both elegantly displayed and tray passed and included an imported and domestic cheese display, lamb samosas, and traditional South African Boerewors sausage. And on the buffet menu, guests enjoyed beef tenderloin, rosemary chicken breast, quinoa stuffed bell peppers, Ratatouille with sautéed summer vegetables, and more. Ventura Rental also helped to make the entire event possible and Bella Vista Designs lit up the reception with alluring string lights.
Lilac Patisserie provided a classic three-tiered white cake for the evening and the night wasn’t over until a couple of traditions were complete, including a breaking the bread ceremony.
