We are thrilled to share that our intimate Rose Garden Wedding has been beautifully featured on Green Wedding Shoes, one of the premier wedding inspiration blogs. This celebration was born out of a shift in the wedding industry, where couples are increasingly drawn to smaller, more personalized gatherings that emphasize meaningful connections and elegant simplicity. Collaborating with the incredibly talented Amanda of Amanda Lauren & Co., we set out to create a dreamy yet sophisticated farm-style wedding that perfectly captures the essence of boutique outdoor celebrations.
A Romantic Wedding at Eco Mama Farms
Our journey began when we connected with the stunning new venue, Eco Mama Farms, nestled in the picturesque Santa Ynez Valley. This venue’s natural beauty and rustic charm made it the perfect canvas for our vision. We were ecstatic when Eco Mama Farms welcomed us to style their rose garden space, allowing us to bring Amanda’s exquisite design ideas to life. Amanda’s creativity shone through in both the ceremony and dinner areas, where she curated every detail to evoke a sense of warmth, intimacy, and elegance.
The rose garden itself is breathtaking, but the collaboration between Amanda and Jake of Bella Vista Designs elevated the setting to new heights. Together, they crafted an open-air greenhouse structure with custom lighting that blended seamlessly with the venue’s existing pergola. Amanda personally built the upper arches of the greenhouse with help from her father, carefully measuring, cutting, and staining the wood to create a one-of-a-kind architectural feature that framed the ceremony space beautifully.
Elegant Details and Styling
The dinner setup was equally spectacular. Amanda sourced unique floral vessels from Anthropologie, paired them with chic tabletop settings from Table Method, and incorporated stunning wooden tables and upholstered benches from Party Pleasers. The result was an inviting farm-style dining experience that felt both luxurious and approachable. Renae’s Bouquet contributed to the magic with lush floral arrangements that adorned the ceremony and dinner spaces, including a playful “circlet” bouquet and an intricate floral headpiece for our radiant bride.
Our bride’s look was flawlessly executed by Jenny at Blushing Beauty, who provided hair and makeup services that highlighted her natural beauty. She wore two breathtaking gowns by Hayley Paige, complemented by delicate lace pumps from Bella Belle and elegant jewelry from Gorjana. The groom looked dashing in a tailored suit from Stitch and Tie, accented with a distinctive art deco bow tie from Knotty Tie Co.
Attention to detail extended to every aspect of the day. Jessica Yee Calligraphy created a stunning hand-written invitation suite and personalized place settings on vintage glass vessels, adding a timeless and sophisticated touch. Style My Flat Lay contributed additional styling elements to tie the entire aesthetic together. The celebration’s sweet finale was a floral cake from Solvang Bakery, adorned with fresh roses from Eco Mama Farms, and a heartwarming visit from Jackson, the farm’s gentle and beautiful resident horse.
Capturing Every Moment
Documenting this special day was an absolute honor. As the photographer behind Lisa Leanne Photography (formerly Wisteria Photography), I was committed to capturing the authentic emotions, stunning details, and intimate moments that made this wedding truly unforgettable. Complementing the photography, Elena Gaeta created a captivating behind-the-scenes video that showcases the artistry and love poured into every aspect of the event.
