Field To Table Events was on hand all weekend, delighting guests with an array of delicious meals during both rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception with the freshest local ingredients. As the wedding reception night went on, they even provided tasty late-night snacks, perfect for keeping the energy up on the dance floor.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]The “coastal romance” vibes were carried throughout the celebration with springtime flowers in an array of pastel shades. The ceremony design was focused on colorful, spring florals by Third & Park, echoed in the reception decor and complemented with natural wood and rattan elements that also matched the beautiful neutral textures of Sunstone Villa itself. The seating installation by Wildhouse Ink displayed a stunning blue floral mural wall with two linen scrolls directing guests to their tables. More blue accents greeted Bree and Blake’s friends and family as they transitioned to the reception on the Villa’s back lawn. Blue linen napkins and lush floral arrangements in shades of lavender, periwinkle, soft blush, and ivory adorned the wooden dining tables. A focal point of the reception design was the lighting installation of woven pendants above the dance floor.[/field]

Bree and Blake got a small cake for their ceremonial cake-cutting moment from local bakery Enjoy Cupcakes. Guests were treated to Santa Barbara local favorite, McConnell’s Ice Cream, for dessert instead of traditional wedding cake.
