We absolutely love collaborating with other talented vendors and for this editorial, we had a real dream team! The concept for this design was shared with us by Anna and Andrew at Dear Lovers. Having grown up in New Zealand, Anna had a vision to draw on her roots and create something that paid homage to her English heritage. This design revolves around an old world feel, romantic florals, and a warm color palette.

The venue we selected was the breathtaking Kestrel Park in Santa Ynez, one of the most magical spots in Southern California with it’s 19th century style English country house and 100 acre grounds. In Anna’s words— We took advantage of Kestrel’s beautiful light, historic details and the fields that had turned golden in the summer heat to set the scene. With warm honey, cream and terra-cotta florals by the lovely ladies of Bloom Babes to compliment the delicate nature of the venue, a dream was brought to life.

When deciding on rentals to source, we were immediately drawn to Theoni’s Avigon Whitewash chairs that have a vintage, European feel. In the ceremony space, Bloom Babes created a lush garden instalaltion that engulfed the chairs in shades of green, white, and deep burgundy. The bridal bouquet was soft and feminine, infusing pops of honey and blush.  

For our tableware rentals, we pulled some of our favorite pieces from Borrowed Blu. They have such a unique mixture of modern and pristine vintage pieces- we knew they’d be a perfect match for our aesthetic. We selected their lace edge Delizia charger and paired it with simple, lipped eggshell plates. To infuse some additional texture, we went with a woven organic cotton napkin, but kept the flatware streamlined and elegant with their vintage modern gold collection. For glassware we utilized their Siren range in Oro and Clear. The soft gold touches paired perfectly with Bloom Babes’ soft and romantic centerpieces featuring gorgeous blooms ranging from ivory to pink to yellow.

We could not have asked for a more beautiful day to capture these sweet memories! The possibilities for picture perfect spaces at Kestrel Park are endless and we loved the variety in scenery we were able to utilize. From the lavender filled gardens, the sycamore lined walkways, and sprawling dried grass pastures this venue is the perfect backdrop to an special celebration!
