Venue Spotlight... Dos Pueblos Ranch

Dos Pueblos Ranch is one of my favorite locations on the California Coast.  It beautiful historic location is only 15 miles from downtown Santa Barbara.  The Ranch property includes a private beach, newly restored rustic barn, and an estate lawn at the historic 1922 Casa Grande.

Image having your wedding ceremony on a private beach and having your reception in a 100 year old rustic barn.  It absolutely amazing!!

OCEANFRONT: This beautiful coastline with a private beach in California has almost become a thing of the past. The beach area has wedding location two options either on the sand or a bluff over looking the ocean.

RUSTIC BARN: The 1917 barn is rustic chic complete with hay bales.   Across from the barn is a 200 year old sycamore tree that creates the perfect backdrop for a church in the woods.  Seat 250 comfortably.

CASA GRANDE: Located at the north end of a quarter mile long turf mall, stretching towards the sea, stands the main house of the estate, a stately mansion The Casa Grande. The mall is lined with fifty foot high Moreton Bay Fig trees. This Mediterranean style two story home with spanish tile roof was built around 1920.

Oh did I mention there is also a lagoon, lavender farm and train trestles...

Real Wedding... Jillian & Kevin, Shutters on the Beach

Jillian and Kevin tied the knot at the beautiful Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, California.  To keep with Shutters beach chic ambience, they had a sea shell canopy at their ceremony, and kept their color palette clean and crisp with bright whites and Tiffany blue.

Much thanks to Michelle of Mi Belle Photographer for the beautiful photos!

Featured... Style Me Pretty

I'm so excited that one of my favorite weddings got a front page feature on one of my favorite wedding blogs, Style Me Pretty! Ashley and Drew are a fun loving, funky grooving, soul surfing couple.  Their attention to detail and style showed in every part of their wedding... Their rainbow color scheme meets retro beach meets rustic barn all blended together seamlessly.  See more of this barn fête in the gallery.
