Rooftop ceremony infused with iconic elegance

Hotel Californian Wedding

Blair + David

Hotel California, Santa Barbara, California

This Hotel Californian wedding went from classic romance to an iconic, lush celebration with flowers all around. For their floral designs, we chose creamy whites, soft nudes, and blush along with dark, forest greens to cultivate a garden feel for their rooftop celebration. I don’t think anyone will forget their emotional walk down the aisle, which was also adorned with flowers like the delicate smilax, larkspur, and lisianthus. Let’s not forget the oversized arch that was draped with greenery and blooms. The intent was to mirror the modern elegance of the venue. During dinner, that was achieved (in the stunning black and white ballroom) with bud vases and votive candles, creating a glowing and romantic feel.
