Bride & Groom curate gorgeous Santa Barbara wedding at Villa & Vine

WEDDING RECAPSSanta Barbara
Written By Emily Wright

“Natural and glowy” was the hair and makeup vibe and that’s exactly what our Santa Barbara bride got!! Savannah, from our team, created a classic and minimalistic bridal look that enhanced her features and didn’t feel overdone.

This couple chose to get ready at The Hotel Californian, a perfect Santa Barbara spot centrally located in the Funk Zone and just a short walk to the ocean! Their ceremony was at the Santa Barbara Courthouse, with reception at Villa and Vine. Ash Gabes Photo captured the couple and their whole day so beautifully!
