So excited to be featured on the Jewish weddings blog, The Wedding Yentas!

******************************************

Rachel and David were married on August 6, 2011 at her family’s Santa Barbara estate. Their wedding was elegant, chic, and true to the bride and groom’s modern yet classic style. David wore a slim-fitting charcoal gray suit with black converse and a skinny black tie, and Rachel wore a strapless sweetheart dress that featured pewter-colored crystal beading detailing on bodice, a metallic pewter belt and a modern, tattered A-line skirt. The entire outdoor estate was utilized for the affair. The ceremony took place in a courtyard, cocktails and hor d’erves were enjoyed around the pool area in the back, and dinner was served along the long, green front lawn. Banquet tables lined the lawn with splashes of merlot and burgundy flowers atop, popping against the tranquil backdrop of the Santa Barbara landscape. Modern lanterns suspended from the huge chandelier tree hung over the dance floor as overhead string bulbs lit the blue evening sky. It was a great time with close friends, excellent food and wine, awesome music, and most of all, a bride and groom madly in love with one another.

Mazel tov, Rachel and David!

Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse Wedding Featured On: The Wedding Yentas

Real Weddings | Los Olivos, CA

Mike and Mia met through Match.com thanks to both of their mothers, who were tired of hearing how their son and daughter could never find anyone worth dating out and about. Mia had pretty much given up on the whole thing after a bunch of nice dates with great guys that she just didn’t really get excited about. Just by chance, Mia happened to notice an email from Mike. He was funny, clearly intelligent, and just plain interesting so she responded. On their first date, she dropped a piece of raw fish on her face, and Mike broke all her date rules and then got violently ill with swine flu on the drive home. Still, they both turned up for the second date and 9 months later Mia and Mike were engaged.

They wanted a rustic wedding that still felt sophisticated. Mia and Mike really wanted their wedding to feel intimate, which they accomplished by curving the ceremony seating slightly and creating one long head table for everyone to sit at. The intimate seating was contrasted by the big openness of the venue. For the backdrop, they had the gorgeous hills and the farmhouse, which is an actual West Virginian farmhouse that was deconstructed and rebuilt in California wine country. Most of the decor and little touches were made by Mia or Etsy vendors, aside from the pieces they used from their parents’ homes and weddings.

Mazel tov, Mia and Mike!
