Timeless Elegance With a Modern Twist at Montecito Country Club

From the bride, Rachel: Joe and I met a random Thursday afternoon at our apartments pool- after a few hours of talking he asked me for my number and that Saturday we went on our first date! The wedding was a perfect mix of romantic Santa Barbara meets ethereal garden. I loved that each space shined in there own but had a cohesive theme. I loved walking into the reception space and feeling like we were in a secret garden with the most beautiful hanging florals. I loved how Lindsay and Kathryn made a moment in every space from the escort wall to the martini bar no detail was ignored! The wedding was an absolute dream come true! I was so happy and full of joy the entire day! I loved the florals- Amy did a fantastic job with creating stunning floral arrangements using over 3,000 roses and making each arrangement look like an art piece. The band was out of this world! I don’t think Joe or I left the dance floor all night! Except to refresh our drinks which many guests said were the best espresso martinis they have ever had! If I could relive that day I would 10x over Mother Nature even blessed us with a hurricane hitting just 12 hours later- something that hasn’t happened in Santa Barbara in over 60 years! The Bliss team gave me the best gift as a bride- they handled everything and allowed me to not worry about a thing all day!

Florals and decor played a pivotal role in bringing the wedding vision to life. Abundant, lush floral arrangements decorated every space, from the stunning archway filled with roses and hydrangeas to the elegant centerpieces that graced each table.
