From Ariel Yve Design…The wedding of Karin and Roberto was an intimate family affair. The couple exchanged tearful vows on a sunny September afternoon in the lush wedding garden at the San Ysidro Ranch. The guests in attendance spanned 4 generations, and even included two of the couple’s adorable Jack Russell Terriers…Cricket and Rio.
Karin and Roberto originally fell in love with Santa Barbara on assignment as art directors for an editorial photo shoot many years ago. Both the bride and groom are quite accomplished in the Advertising/Marketing world, and both are fabulously creative. Roberto, the groom, took an active role throughout the planning process by employing his keen eye and graphic design talents…creating every single printed item for the wedding. He designed everything from the save the dates, to the custom wedding logo, to the invitation, the programs, menus, table numbers….and even an extraordinarily creative escort card idea that looked like a hotel registration book, but was a guide for the guests to find their seating assignments.
The bride’s sweet sentiment and southern style set the tone for the celebration. She wanted a classic color palette with pops of color for interest. From the very beginning, the couple wanted to create a gracious environment with an abundance of food, conversation and fun…and that is exactly what they got. Everyone in attendance truly had a phenomenal time…even the vendors!
After guests dined on a bountiful buffet dinner of local and seasonal foods, (including the San Ysidro Ranch’s signature Prosciutto di Parma with four cheese mac and cheese) Roberto surprised the Karin with a serenade sung by a lively mariachi band.
Later in the evening as guests danced to the couple’s favorite mix of songs from the 80′s, the couple “cut” their cake. Well actually, they exchanged cake balls. Rather than a traditional tiered cake, Karin wanted to serve something that was popular from her hometown in Texas…a cake ball wedding cake display. Between dance sets, guests helped themselves to as many red velvet, chocolate truffle and strawberry champagne cake balls as their heart’s desired.
As the celebration came to a close, the party continued for the couple’s 40 guests in the hotel’s Angel and Plow lounge far into the wee hours of the morning. No one wanted the great conversations, festivities or memories of that magical night to come to an end.

Beautiful work Ariel!
The dress was a Rosa Clará design in her “Clark” style. The jewelry was a Kenneth Jay Lane design using gorgeous, chunky, Swarovski crystals. This was absolutely the most perfect day for us! This was the day I married my dream man and we’re honored for the images to be featured here in such a beautiful way.
Gorgeous invitations!

Everything about this wedding is gorgeous, especially the bride! :) Where are the shoes from? I adore the crystal heel!!
Kudos to Megan Sorel Photography who wonderfully captured the beauty of the wedding!
The shoes are Jimmy Choo! The crystal earrings were just placed on the heel for the photo.
Where are bridesmaid dresses from and what color are they? I am in love with the color.
The bridesmaid dresses were Belsoie in tiffany chiffon fabric in the color scarlet. It was a gorgeous color!
Oh, could I ask about the engagement ring? It looks like a gemstone - possibly an aquamarine? And a cushion cut? I've requested an aquamarine, cushion cut ring and even after I was asked to join the search, we're having a difficult time.
I'm a very lucky man.
Karin and Roberto's wedding was simply flawless. I was very happy to be part of this celebration.
I love you guys. Here's wishing you two many many blessings and years of happiness together.
