Tuscan Elegance
Lauren and Anthony’s Santa Barbara Wedding
Gazing down upon the jaw-dropping Goleta coastline with the faint scent of salty air, mingled with lush florals, guests were treated to a regal yet comfortable ceremony among close family and friends at this picturesque ceremony
Cocktails and sea breezes
In the heart of Santa Barbara, where the California coastline meets Tuscan elegance, Lauren and Anthony embarked on a journey of love that culminated in a breathtaking wedding. Their special day took place at the enchanting Tuscan Hills Estate, a private haven where nature and luxury merge seamlessly.
Choosing the Perfect Venue
Lauren and Anthony chose Tuscan Hills Estate for its undeniable Tuscan flair, conveniently nestled in Santa Barbara. The venue’s rustic charm and coastal views perfectly aligned with their vision of an elegant yet relaxed wedding.
The Venue: Tuscan Hills Estate
Tuscan Hills Estate is a jewel of Santa Barbara, offering an all-outdoor wedding experience. The ceremony platform, set on a wood plank overlooking the coastline, provided a stunning backdrop for their vows. A poolside cocktail hour and an al fresco reception in front of the Tuscan-style estate completed the enchanting setting.
Their wedding day, at the beginning of June, was the epitome of perfection in Santa Barbara. The atmosphere was warm, with cool, gentle evening breezes—a dreamy climate for an outdoor celebration.
Limoncello Escort Cards
One of the day’s standout moments was the real Limoncello escort card display. We incorporated mini lemoncello bottles with each guest’s name dangling from the top. It was a true testament to the couple’s love for Tuscan culture and a delightful surprise for their guests.
A Timeless Color Palette
The color palette for their wedding was a classic combination of white, green, and black, creating an atmosphere of timeless sophistication.
As their designer, I had the pleasure of selecting a unique and unforgettable decor item by Theoni Collection —a black Italian charger plate by Richard Ginori. This historic porcelain dinnerware producer, dating back to 1735 in Doccia Sesto Fiorentino, perfectly encapsulated the Italian flair they desired. The entire reception was designed around this exquisite plate, adding an element of authenticity and luxury.
A Seamless Blend of Elegance
As their wedding planner, I was proud to bring Lauren and Anthony’s vision to life. We achieved the perfect balance of Tuscan elegance without veering into the rustic side of design. Their wedding exuded elegance without being ostentatious, creating an inviting and comfortable atmosphere that resonated with guests throughout the day.
Lauren and Anthony’s wedding at Tuscan Hills Estate in Santa Barbara was a celebration of love, elegance, and Tuscan charm. Against the backdrop of stunning coastal views and under the warm Santa Barbara sun, they embarked on their journey as a married couple. It was a day filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments—an exquisite testament to their love story.
