Santa Barbara Wedding by Lisa Vorce and Megan Sorel, II

November 12th. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 12 comments

We are devouring one of Lisa Vorce’s insane weddings today…this one, a vibrant, colorful affair designed for two Texans. Two Texans after my own heart. I honestly can’t even imagine the hours and hours of brainstorming, of sourcing, of creating that went into this affair with details that are completely and totally off the chart. Megan Sorel photographed the day and managed to capture images that really give us a window into the picture perfect style, the pure and total gorgeousness.

For the dinner reception – the guests dined under the most extraordinary canopy of oak trees. Perfect rigging points for our bevy of chandeliers! In addition to the chandeliers – Mindy Rice provided stunning rustic wood shelves full of pillar candles for Barker Decor to hang in the distant trees. This created the most fantastic glow as the sun went down. We brought in comfy white couches, ottomans, and chairs and created a fabulous lounge in an abandoned barn structure close to the dinner reception. Additional lounge vignettes were positioned under oak trees along the perimeter of the dinner reception to provide cozy escapes.

For the table top, Mindy created fantastic displays using florals such as hot pink and orange garden roses, hydrangea, pincushion flowers, tulips, and cumquats. They were so stunning against Barker Decor’s wood tables. La Tavola provided the beautiful linen runners and chiavari chair cushions. So simple – but so perfect! We had an absolute blast with these clients. We miss y’all!!!

  11. As an officiant, I've had the pleasure of working with Lisa and many of her couples. Not only do I play-off the energy of a couple, but I am also energized by the ceremony space and decor. Lisa and her people are always amazing. The settings she creates are warm, gracious, with that pinch of the magical. I love working with her!
