Jenny & Nick - Santa Ynez, California

There truly is no place in the entire Santa Ynez Valley quite like Kestrel Park. Completely secluded, you wouldn’t even know it’s there as you drive through the surrounding golden hills. But once you’ve entered through the gates, you’ve entered into Heaven. Jenny said it best when she told Style Me Pretty, “the gorgeous gardens are worthy of a scene straight out of "Sabrina," and the dramatic tree-lined pathways captured our vision of true California elegance.”

This destination oasis was the perfect setting as they combined culture and tradition between Nick’s Hawaiian upbringing, Jenny’s Jewish heritage and their mutual love for adventure and travel. With the help of Lally Clark and Anna Le Pley Taylor, the estate was made even more beautiful by accompanying it with lush floral arrangements full of gardenias, hellebores, rose varietals, ranunculus, and peonies. From the moment their guests stepped inside, they were greeted with beauty, love and “Ohana”.

With the smell of garden roses in the air, the cafe lights sparkling with the fading sun, and an Aperol Spritz in hand, it’s hard to imagine anything more befitting for a garden party wedding in Southern California.

Esther & Allen - Santa Barbara, California

“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.” - Jacques Cousteau

Ready for an adventure, Esther and Allen traveled down from San Francisco for their destination engagement off the iconic coast of Santa Barbara. They spent the afternoon on the water soaking up the beautiful California sun, breathing in the warm, salty air, and toasting with their favorite bottle of Veuve Clicquot. Add in some fresh oysters? And you have my perfect day!
