Anthony and Cassie fell in love in Santa Barbara so it only seemed appropriate that they also tie the knot there as well.  It was the perfect destination wedding, just far enough from home that the weekend was a vacation but still close enough that they could still use some of their favorite LA vendors.  The Lion’s Club located just outside of Santa Barbara in the beautiful hills of Carpinteria served as their wedding and reception location.  The lush grass fields of the Lion’s Park worked well for Anthony and Cassie’s classic out door ceremony,  while the rustic interior of the club was warm and enviting for their fun sit down reception.  The wedding party arrived a couple days early to make pretty DIY Martha Stewart pom poms and set up all the decorations Cassie had spent months hand making.  On the day of the wedding Cassie and her bridesmaids were given access to a charming rustic bridal suite at the Lion’s Club equipped with a kitchen for their champaign and full length mirrors to properly get ready in front of.    The sun came out burning away the costal fog and brought a light breeze with it.  A perfect day for a perfect couple.copper wedding shoes on a fancy teal chairHand made Etsy clutch for a bride on her wedding daybrideBridesmaids getting readybride getting ready in her lace dressbeautiful bride getting ready in her lace wedding dressbeautiful bride in a lace inspired vintage wedding dressgroom writing a letter to his bridehandsom groom writing a letter to his bridetan shoes for the groomoutdoor wedding at the Lionmartha stewart white poms hanging from ceremony chairsgazebo at the lions club in santa barbaragazebo at the lions club in CarpinteriaDIY chalk board drink signDIY chalk boards are so much fun.  And I just love the old fashioned striped straws.  yellow and white striped strawsLionThe Gazebo in the park was perfect to keep the pre ceremony refreshments cool.

This was some practice time on our scooters before taking the licence test.  We got really good at making circles around planters, using our cute orange blinkers and weaving in and out of cones.

I’m thinking of naming my scooter Eloise and we are still trying to come up with a manly name for Brett’s scooter.
