A picture perfect elopement, resplendent with a gorgeous Santa Barbara backdrop and this darling couple…Sweetness and romance in all its lovely glory, served up in this prettiest feature…

From photographer Tenth & Grace via Style Me Pretty … When you live in the public eye, the thought of planning a huge wedding in front of hundreds of people can be pretty overwhelming. That’s exactly why our bride – a popular morning news anchor – wanted her wedding to be small and very private. The couple decided on an intimate elopement at Belmond El Encanto in Santa Barbara with only their photographer, videographer, and officiant in attendance.

Belmond El Encanto is the perfect venue for a romantic elopement – it is private and secluded, tucked above in the hills of Santa Barbara with sweeping views down to the ocean. After getting ready in their suite, the bride and groom exchanged vows on the terrace. The couple took additional portraits at Butterfly Beach in Montecito before enjoying their private dinner back at the hotel. All the details that they planned came together perfectly, and – most importantly – their day was just about them!

Nothing says fun loving quite like a good old fashioned elopement. And Santa Barbara, California -a top destination hot spot for all things weddings and secret rendezvousing – is the perfect place to do an elopement right. Take this inspiration photoshoot, where we teamed up with photographer Lacie Hansen and Bluebird Productions to bring you this visual delight, as featured on Style Me Pretty…

From Bluebird Productions…Inspired by the colors of the American Riviera and the desire to have a perfectly intimate elopement that could then be shared, a fabulous group of vendors crafted the ideal elopement. The elopement consists of experiences at the Santa Barbara courthouse followed by a tour around town, dinner and cake in a romantic courtyard and a sunset toast on the beach…Bright and cheerful flowers decorate the intentionally set table to compliment colors of the areas surroundings and add a bit of “pop” to punctuate the celebration.

Romantic Elopement Inspiration

Whether you prefer an intimate celebration with a small gathering of friends and family or a festive bash with a guestlist that overflows on the dance floor, there’s no denying the beauty and grace of a private elopement. A one-on-one deeply connected moment of uniting love in a ceremony of solitude…Sigh. Photographer Mark Cluney thought so, too. And we’re so happy to have been a part of the talented team that helped to create from this vision. As featured in Green Wedding Shoes…

Our inspiration flowed from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s, “Breathing Dreams Like Air”. The golden light in Santa Barbara provided the perfect backdrop for a natural arbor of fluttering dreamcatchers and ethereal florals. We love that dreamcatchers represent the bond of life with no beginning or end and wanted to have all the beauty arise from that sentiment.
