Elegance Under the Santa Barbara Sun Featured on Wedspire

We're thrilled to announced that our real wedding of Julie and Pheng at Imagine Park has been featured on Wedspire! Julie shares with Wedspire that “The day of the wedding was just like a David Tutera novel reveal.” Keep on reading to see more the feature and all the photos!

"Flanked by beautiful bridesmaids in soft pink dresses, the blushing bride looked gorgeous in her A-line wedding gown with a lace up panel corset. Pheng and his groomsmen were dapper in their navy blue suits.

The venue, Imagine Park, provided the perfect backdrop for their simple dream wedding with it’s scattered cacti, big trees and natural earth tones. These were further brought to life by the couple’s choice of theme colours: white, pink and maroon- which made up their floral arrangements and scattered specs of gold, navy blue and black- tastefully rounding up the table settings, cake, gift & favors tables and overall décor.

The ceremony couldn’t have been more romantic as they said their “I DO’s” under a vast valley oak tree, witnessed by their closest family and friends. Little did they know that there was more to come as they entered the reception area, carefully lit by white and gold Christmas tree lights with the summit of a nearby mountain visible just over the surrounding trees ready for the sun to set upon them.

Dancing under the stars to N’sync’s “I Promise You” was one of the highlights of the evening. It brought back memories of when the couple first danced to it a mutual family friend’s wedding. That was the dance that started it all and would become the one to kick-start their marriage just right with a simple promise.

Julie’s advice for brides-to-be is to find a planner who knows what they’re doing, put your trust in them and then enjoy the fact that you are getting married!"

Romantic Santa Barbara Styled Shoot with Gathering For Good

Filled with vibrant blooms and glittering gold details, this romantic Santa Barbara styled shoot shot by Rewind Photography remains one of our favorites to date! The lush green grounds of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History served as the backdrop to this feminine and elegant inspirational shoot that brought an incredible team of creatives together to create so much beauty.

Neutral tones and soft textures set the tone for the design and allowed our vibrant floral displays to make a bold statement. Luxe Linen’s gold satin table linen with an organza overlay and bohemian table runner provided a stunning setting for the tablescape coupled with wood chiavari chairs and a vintage loveseat. Delicate patterned china, gold flatware, and crystal goblets filled each place setting topped with a gold linen napkin and a beautiful printed menu by Just a Little Sparkle.

A similar design was carried over to the sweetheart table where an elegant tablescape, unique patterned linen in a neutral tone, white caneback chairs, and an abundance of blooms made the intimate table stand out. Centerpieces in gold vases popped against the natural surroundings as they were comprised of light peach, lavender, ivory, and deep burgundy florals for a truly romantic touch. A vintage white dresser displayed the three tiered cake by Ali’s Sugar Lab that was itself a masterpiece of art!

Every detail of this romantic Santa Barbara styled shoot was carefully curated and styled by the creative team and we are so thrilled with the gorgeous and inspiring result!

2017 WeddingWire Couples' Choice Award

It is with much excitement that we announce Burlap and Bordeaux has been awarded a 2017 WeddingWire Couple’s Choice Award in the Santa Barbara region!

With over three million reviews, WeddingWire has been a leading resource for brides and grooms-to-be, offering a large directory of local and national wedding professionals, easy-to-use planning tools, inspiration, advice and more. It is an honor to have our wonderful couples review us so kindly and with such positivity and enthusiasm, we only wish that we could rave about how much we loved working with them as well!

Here are a few highlights that helped us make the cut!

“My goal for a relaxed, comfortable day filled with love, family and friends turned out to be so much more than I could have ever imagined thanks to Brooke and her team. Let's talk flowers. OH. MY. GOD. I. HAVE. NEVER. SEEN. MORE. BEAUTIFUL. FLOWERS. Am I getting my point across? She is AMAZING, professional, kind and a genuine super hero.” - Chelsea

“We hired Brooke for full-service planning for our Santa Barbara wedding and she absolutely nailed it. My fiancee and I both live in Los Angeles so it would have been difficult for us to meet with and vet different vendors. Her many connections in the industry made it easy to select the right vendors at the best price and I was able to handle nearly all of the planning and booking over text or email. We told her how much we wanted to spend and I shared photos of my vision and she made it happen... I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day besides enjoy myself - which I did to the fullest! We have been getting comments from our guests that it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they’ve ever attended. And we have Brooke to thank for that - she’s amazing.” - Joanna
