Hey everyone!  It has been a little while since we’ve posted to the blog.  Our last post was in June, and then the 2018 wedding season hit in full force. It was an amazing season – so many beautiful weddings, incredible designs, and fun couples.  Each one was unique and an honor to be a […]

I had the honor of working with Claire + Nico to design their beautiful wedding ceremony at The Santa Barbara Musuem of Natural History (under the beautiful oak trees) and then their reception at Villa and Vine in downtown Santa Barbara.  We used lots of textured greenery paired with soft, romantic blooms to create a […]

Gigliola + Luke were married at the beautiful Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm.  I loved how hands-on they were throughout the planning process.  They had so many fun DIY (do-it-yourself) elements that artfully came together to create a beautiful reception full of elegance, warmth, and fun.  I loved how their two (very large) families came together […]

Hey everyone, Wedding season is in full swing! We are up to our ears in flowers, emails, timelines and walkthroughs…I love my job! One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to collaborate with a bride and groom to create beauty. It is so much fun to take a space and completely transform […]

Our favorite design elements from this wedding were the bright, cheerful spring florals and the beautiful mustard yellow silk ribbons on the bride’s bouquet (Tono & Co).  The vows were so beautiful and full of love, Danielle’s father gave such a […]

The Jam Event is an incredible industry showcase where vendors can be creative, network, and celebrate together.  Wild Heart Events curates and sponsors this amazing event, and Bella Vista Designs was the main sponsor this year.  Loved seeing the event featured on Green Wedding Shoes this week!   Inspired by John Lennon’s song, “Imagine,” our team […]

We had so much fun designing and styling Sarah + Darren’s wedding last fall at this beautiful private greenhouse on the Gaviota Coast.  So honored seeing this on the front page of Style Me Pretty today!  Loved using protea, neutral blooms, bright pops of greenery, mixed metals and woods, and mismatched place settings to create a […]

Hey Guys, [Tay Here]. A few months ago Ty and I went out for date night and ended up wandering into Hotel Californian for a nightcap. This hotel is new to downtown Santa Barbara and has the greatest vibe! We got to talking with the bartender there, and after learning that Ty’s favorite drink was […]
