Santa Barbara Wedding by Jose Villa, III

November 10th. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 31 comments

The last time we featured one of Jose’s little pieces of heaven, someone left a funny comment about me kissing some serious Jose booty. Well, Jose just happens to send me THE best weddings so the kissing is well deserved…and as long as he continues to be one of the most brilliant photographers around, the kissing will definitely keep on keepin’! Jose Villa’s photographs just have a swagger about them…they are graceful while still being fresh and contemporary. They are elegant, while still having style. And this wedding shows off his mad, mad skills to perfection!

When I first saw this wedding, it actually reminded me of on of my all time favorite Winter inspiration boards.  With a really soft palette, birch accents and simple but sophisticated details this wedding could translate beautifully into a Winter wedding. It’s the effortlessly elegant approach to styling…the white calligraphy by Laura Hooper that was done on gray card stock, the low centerpieces filled with monochromatic hues, the white on white palette…that makes the wedding so timeless, so appropriate for any season.

We’ll have the full vendor list coming up at the end of the feature, but I did want to mention a few highlights. The INCREDIBLE flowers were designed by Krislyn Design. Which isn’t in the least bit suprising as Krislyn’s designs are the epitome of chic. The gorgeous invitations were designed by Atlas & Campbell.

  24. Erin Carroll says:

    This wedding is absolutely amazing! Such a dream wedding that will bring inspiration to other brides. Which brings me to an idea for a feature on Style Me Pretty. Brides on a budget or how to make the most of your budget. My fiance and I have a budget of $20k, which we find to be fair, but at times get discouraged by the cost of items for the wedding.

  25. Betty says:

    So fresh and romantic, love it www.sanmayphotography.com

  26. I love the lighting & the couple looks so much in love www.sanmayphotography.com

  28. Annie says:

    I love her hair -- so sophisticated and elegant!

  29. This wedding so elegant, classic without being stuffy. I LOVE the brides sleek hair.

  30. Really beautiful images. It looks like it should be in a bridal magazine...heck it probably is. Love the blog! *subscribed*

  31. the bride says:

    Thank you so much for all of the lovely comments! I wanted to respond about the earrings because they were a major search. Much more difficult to find than I expected. The jewelry designer is Dana Rebecca. She has a website. Hope this helps someone's planning process a little easier.
