A Gorgeous Wedding Planned Sight Unseen!

For Adwoa and Phillip, an intimate, elegant, fuss-free wedding was at the top of their priority list. With just three months to plan, they found a venue (the incredible Belmond El Encanto) online and let their vendors work their magic on the rest. The result? A wedding completely sight unseen that turned out pretty dang perfect. Gloria Mesa photographed and you can see it all inside The Vault.

From the Bride...We initially planned a small elopement (just the two of us) at the Santa Barbara courthouse followed by a destination wedding in Costa Rica. As the health concerns related to the Zika Virus came up with 3 months to go, we changed directions and opted for a small destination ceremony in Santa Barbara. 

We wanted something small and intimate that reflected us. Phil's outdoor laid-back peaceful nature with accents of simple elegance (me!) We found the venue online and our parents went to view it. Everything else was done sight unseen!
