Butterfly Lane Estate wedding in Montecito

We knew from the moment we arrived on Susan and Andy’s Butterfly Lane Estate wedding day that it was going to be something really special. There was a sense of serenity that blanketed the entire celebration, and it was at once calming and invigorating.

Susan and Andy selected Butterfly Lane Estate for their Montecito wedding day because it captured the calm and intimate mood they were hoping to convey for their celebration. They really wanted an outdoor wedding that felt very “Santa Barbara,” and that’s definitely what they got with the combination of a garden ceremony, estate house as the backdrop for the reception, and gorgeous Butterfly Beach just steps from the venue. The bride and groom wanted the day to be about relaxed elegance, with a beachy garden party vibe. Mission accomplished!

Susan was breathtaking in her Hayley Paige gown, and Kellye from Precious + Blooming infused the loveliest pops of color in the reception decor while keeping the ceremony space neutral (letting the gorgeous surroundings speak for themselves). And just WAIT until you get to the sunset photos on Butterfly Beach! We were in wedding photographer heaven with this Butterfly Lane Estate wedding. Here are our faves!
