Romantic Ballroom Affair at the Biltmore

Mixing a few different styles can make for the most beautiful affairs. Layered and thoughtful with modern details planned by Alexandra Kolendrianos, chic florals designed in the hands of Mindy Rice and a sense of classic seaside touches captured by Michael & Anna Costa Photography. Their images speak straight to my pretty-loving soul and there's more to swoon in the gallery right here.

From Alexandra... Susanne & James wedding was so incredibly intimate. A non traditional ceremony set up of their favorite people surrounding them was the focal point on the La Pacifica Terrace at the Four Seasons Biltmore Santa Barbara. The ceremony was set in a circle under a beautiful structure adored in taupe lace and rich floral pullbacks. Some guests sat surrounding them and others were standing. While very elegant and sophisticated, the wedding also took on a very comfortable and earthy flow.

Lounges, candles and florals complimented the terrace, while guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres overlooking the ocean. A Spanish guitar duo was a beautiful choice for entertainment. As guests moved inside the ballroom for dinner, a fantastic 7 piece band greeted the guests. Guests were awed by the clean and elegant palette in the room. Taupe linen fabric draped the walls, wood rectangle tables with taupe lace runners were spread throughout and mixed in with round tables draped in taupe linens. Each place setting including a beautiful garden rose and ribbon accenting the letter pressed mauve colored menus. The florals were abundant and fit the tone of the evening so perfectly. Capiz shell containers filled with Muted greens, cranberry colored and dusty rose florals were eye catching and the focal point of the space. Complimenting wood bars and gorgeous cream suede lounges with wood coffee tables and abundant candle light and floral was the icing on the cake. The most beautiful romantic lighting enhanced the space giving a warm glow throughout the ballroom and on the terrace.

Congratulations to Susanne and James for an amazing and unforgettable day!
