Join us as we take a closer look at this intimate spring wedding held at the groom’s gorgeous family estate in Buellton, California. The Drake Social wedding planning team was responsible for the day’s planning and coordination. And, all these awe-inspiring photos are thanks to Santa Barbara wedding photographer Anna Delores.

Both the ceremony and reception were held outdoors, with breathtaking mountain views always set in the background—the focal point of most of the day’s pictures. Cosecha Farming made sure the entire event was in bloom with blue and pink flowers which decorated the wedding arch, reception tables, and made up the bouquets carried by the bride and her bridesmaids. Hair and makeup was done by Rogue Styling and the bride wore a ballgown style wedding dress with layers of tulle. Her counterpart, the groom, wore a navy suit and sneakers.

Stationary was another highlight from the wedding, completed by JesMarried. A custom invitation suite included drawings of the venue as well as sweet details about the couple’s relationship. And, the bar menu was a hit with an illustration of the couple’s cat plus the cocktail it inspired: Nugget’s Peach Smash.

At the reception, tables were set in a U-shape with rentals courtesy of The Tent Merchant. High on the Hog was in charge of catering while Dart Collective took care of music. Throughout the night, guests were also invited to leave the couple heartfelt messages with the After the Tone audio guestbook - one of the most creative guest book alternatives we have seen and the perfect way for the couple to memorialize their day.
