Remember this beautiful secret garden inspiration board from a few weeks ago? Well, Lavender & Twinecontacted me the day that went up asking me if they could turn it into a real shoot and I’ve been dying to see what they came up with! They didn’t disappoint and I think there are lots of great ideas for your own “secret garden wedding.” What do you guys think – anyone want to run off and elope with your honey in a secret garden now!? 🙂
Love her bright red lips and pretty bouquet by Bella Raines Garden Studio.
If you love this location, the Lavender Inn in Ojai, CA is available for weddings and would make the perfect setting for your own garden wedding.
How adorable are the vintage key boutonnieres!
Big thanks to all the talented vendors for sharing this shoot with us today!

Santa Ynez Wedding by Jose Villa + Jill La Fleur + Joel Serrato, Part II
ashley & michael from joel serrato on Vimeo.
See what I mean? Beyond. Beyond. Beyond gorgeous. Before we jump into our buying guide, I had to share with you one more set of images from Jose Villa. We get pretty wrapped up in the details here on SMP, as we’ll always be a blog that focuses on the design and the inspiration behind all of the perfect little touches. But these images completely reminded me that sometimes the most beautiful details are the little moments of love, of beauty, of pure art behind each and every photograph.

From Jill La Fleur… I am so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the country, Santa Ynez, CA…the wine country region of Santa Barbara County. People come from all over the world to visit this area for it’s perfect climate, rolling hills studded with oak trees, incredible sunsets and of course the wine and wineries!
This wedding was at a beautiful winery in this valley, Foley Winery, and the couple chose one of the most beautiful times of the year to have their wedding here…in October. This is harvest time here when the grapes are full on the vines and the sunsets fill the sky with oranges and yellows each evening. That’s where the term Harvest Moon comes from! Ashley & Michael love this area, in fact they moved here since their wedding, and so they decided to embrace the colors of the sky and the season in their wedding, which is what I loved about planning their wedding so much! The colors in their photos and film just remind me of the beautiful sunsets of this area and we incorporated lanterns, wine barrels, rustic farm tables, vintage fruit crates and lots of colorful floral to really pull together both the location and the season. And to keep the beautiful scenery and starry sky in our sights all evening, we rented a clear tent to bring in the amazing views all night!
I think these amazing photos and this romantic film capture it all! Congats to Ashley & Mike…best wishes for a colorful, beautiful future together and welcome to paradise!

You guys know what tends to happen to me when I get my hands on a Jose Villa wedding. I turn into a five year old who just took her first steps inside a candy store. Giddy, flustered, squealing here and there for no particular reason. Well, that’s exactly what I did when I opened my email to see this gem of a wedding sitting there all perfect and pretty. Then I saw the vendor list…Jill La Fleur, Joel Serrato, Modern Day Design, Team Hair & Makeup and that five year old inside of me? Well, let’s just say that I had to put her in timeout to calm her down. We’ve got a full day of gorgeousness for you from Jose and crew and we’re topping off everything with an incredible buying guide. Because let’s face it, not everyone can have Jill La Fleur and Modern Day Designs craft your wedding! So without further blabbing, let’s get started. Oh and you can click here to see even more.
A few months back we teamed up with Kate of Flowerwild Designs & Jose Villa Photography. The shoot took place at Kate’s workshop which showcased some of her amazing floral designs. We wanted to keep the hair and makeup clean, elegant & timeless. The emphasis on the eyes, with a light brown shimmer swept across her lids, long beautiful lashes & nude lips. I loved the hair accessories! The pink hat & the headband with real berries-love!
Here are a few shots from Deanna & Soren’s beautiful Santa Barbara wedding at the Canary Hotel. Enjoy!

I’m sorry…are these stills from a super sweet movie coming out this summer?? No? This is the real story of Annie & Jon’s wedding? For some reason it makes me imagine their grandkids finding these pictures one day…. So romantic. And like a dream!
