A Santa Barbara wedding filled with southern style and charm. This bride walked down the aisle that approached a wedding arbor filled with Spanish moss, studded with gardenias, allowing guests to catch the soft scent of gardenia and tuberose as the warm summer breeze gently blew during the outdoor, courtyard ceremony at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum. The bride wore a Lazaro wedding gown, carrying a naturally-styled white bridal bouquet with stems wrapped in wide satin and rough silks in neutral shades beautifully crafted by Santa Barbara florist Camiella Floral Design. Her stunning wedding hairstyle and makeup, done by California’s Unveiled, completed her look. The groom wore a classic black wedding tux by Vera Wang with a simple, yet elegant boutonniere on his lapel.

The escort cards for the reception were individual magnolia leaves with each guest’s name and table number in white wedding calligraphy by Janice Blair. The guest tables were comprised of long wood feasting tables, a mixed chair collection, etched glasses, and lush floral centerpieces. Bowls of fresh berries served as appetizers along with freshly squeezed lemonade, sweet tea, and cucumber water before a catered dinner was served by Santa Barbara wedding catering company Pure Joy Catering. A perfectly, understated 2-tier round wedding cake made by Your Cake Baker continued the rustic, elegant charm seen throughout the entire event.

This southern charmer was coordinated by wedding planner Magnolia Event Design, and these beautiful images were captured by Pat Moyer Wedding Photography & Films.
