Santa Barbara Zoo wedding for the sweetest bride and groom!

WEDDING RECAPSSanta BarbaraPortfolio
Written By Emily Wright

After almost three years of wedding planning and covid reschedules, our bride Alison finally got to experience having wedding of her dreams! Alison and Connor chose the Santa Barbara Zoo as their wedding venue - so unique!!! All of the details were so thoughtfully executed and made the day personal to the couple and their guests. And the FLORALS - omg.

For hair, we went with a classic and romantic hairstyle. We styled it in big, romantic waves all brushed and softened together, and pinned behind the ears with a middle part. This style is the perfect balance of feeling polished and “done”, while also staying effortless.
