This love between you two? This love that led you to feel not just ready — but excited — to share vows in front of friends of family? This love that made everything click? 

It tops the list. This is it, and it couldn’t be better.

Santa Barbara Courthouse and Villa & Vine Wedding

Kate and Eric’s earthy, fall wedding in Santa Barbara took place at two of my favorite downtown SB venues: the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Sunken Gardens for the ceremony and Villa & Vine for the reception.

Comfortable, intimate, and romantic were words the couple used when describing the ideal vibe of their Santa Barbara wedding. Ann Johnson with Ann Johnson Events took these words to heart, creating a modern garden themed reception using the clean template and indoor/outdoor feel of Villa & Vine. The reception decor was filled with gorgeous floral centerpieces by Idlewild Floral. The velvet table clothes paired with wicker chargers added a textural element to neutrals/pink theme of the reception.

There were so many adorable setups for lounging throughout the venue; Villa & Vine in Santa Barbara is truly a venue you can make your own with the decor.

Enjoy this downtown Santa Barbara wedding!
