Location: Rancho Dos Pueblos- The Beach

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Dos Pueblos Ranch is a beautiful 3000 acre ranch that can host Santa Barbara weddings on its own private beach. For the ceremony, there are two options: one is on the beach itself, and the other is high on the bluffs overlooking the beach.

The jagged cliff side makes a stunning backdrop, and the white beach is the ideal location for a couple looking to get married with their toes in the sand. The bluff location is equally as beautiful, but requires a bit of a walk to get to (a staircase followed by a short uphill walk). For the elderly, renting a golf cart would be ideal.

For receptions there are again two options, each adjacent to one of the ceremony locations. By the beach is a parking lot that could be used for the reception as is or tented (I would recommend a clear tent), and carpeted for a more finished appearance. Alternatively, the bluff reception location has a large grassy field that would be ideal for a daytime event. Once night falls, the bluffs and hillside can be quite dangerous for guests (especially for those who have enjoyed too much wine).

Some notes:

  • All items need to be brought in, including bathroom/tables/chairs/kitchen/lighting/power.
  • Small & large events are welcome.
  • Music can go until 10pm.
  • Candles in glass are allowed as long as they are set on tables.
  • There is guest parking on site.
  • Valet is not required but suggested due to length of walk to beach.
  • No dressing area for bride available.
  • Please call for the site fee.

Inspiration Board #25: Picnic Wedding

Monday, June 8th, 2009

The inspiration for this board came from Karen Mordechai’s photo from her Sunday Suppers blog (second row, far right). I picture this wedding as a very casual picnic style wedding. Rustic peach cobbler would be served instead of wedding cake, and family heirlooms, such as the cameo below, would give this wedding a personal touch. For more picnic ideas check out this board from Snippet &  Ink.

Inspiration Board #24: On the Lake

Monday, June 1st, 2009

I love a pretty lake, and a love the idea of a wedding inspired by this setting, but not taken to literally. I imagine this wedding with soft mint blue touches and a very casual, but elegant vibe throughout.

I’m in love with these photos Johnny Miller did for Kate Spade. How fabulous is the orange and purple together?

I love the use of mixed media for these collages.

Johnny has also shot for Martha Stewart (good things anyone?) Go check out his site now, there is oodles of eye candy to be had!

Pretty Garden Clusters

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

I just love the look of an organic grouping of garden flowers.

The look is so pretty, homey, and not overly styled.

Plus, you can use potted flowers which is great for the budget and is a nice green option for decor.

Best of all, they can be used as a back drop for a ceremony, like with these flowers above.
