This San Ysidro Ranch wedding included an arch covered in pink and white roses. The roses played off of the scattered petals covering the aisle, tying the ceremony décor together. Along with the arch the view of the Santa Ynez mountains made for an extraordinary ceremony backdrop.

The simple wooden backdrop allowed for the beachside venue to speak for itself. The two floral arrangements brought in some deeper colors, and the draping of white fabric softened the look. The view from the Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara is so breathtaking that not much needs to be done to make a lovely backdrop.

Iron arches with peaks lined the entire aisle, covered in greenery and white flowers. The rows and rows of grapes at the family vineyard were visible through the installation. Hedges were put in to line the aisle and add to the luxe garden vibe of the ceremony.

As a unique backdrop for this ceremony lanterns and glass vases of flowers were used. The tree at the venue allowed for the special touches to be added. Pops of color came from the pink and yellow flowers, which created a romantic feel for the ceremony space.

White draping made for a dreamy ceremony backdrop. The fabric was tied back to perfectly frame the couple. A chandelier was also brought it to the space, making the rustic wood awning seem more polished.

Floral arrangements and petals laid out in a pattern lead the eye up to the ocean. The delicate pinks worked well with the green of the palm trees. The sky was a beautiful blue the day of the wedding, which is very lucky for an outdoor venue!
