Kestrel Park Spring Wedding Editorial, Santa Ynez Fine Art Wedding Photography

For
this Spring wedding editorial we were inspired by the beauty of Kestrel
Park, a 19th Century English Country home and gardens located in the
heart of Santa Ynez, CA. Hylah White Special Events chose French blue to
be the main color inspiration to play off the European feel of the
venue. We loved how the light shade of blue complemented the cherry
blossoms that were in bloom throughout the garden, which led us to
choose a stunning cherry blossom printed gown from Monique Lhuillier’s
unique RTW collection for our fashion forward bride’s ceremony dress.

Continuing the garden inspiration our bride changed into another
beautiful RTW Monique Lhuillier gown with a beautiful high low hem
allowing her to show off her beautiful floral booties designed by Joy
Proctor for Bella Belle Shoes. Afterwards, the bride changed into a
third stunning Monique Lhuillier bridal gown with a gorgeous lace bodice
and layer upon layer of magnificent tulle for some golden hour
portraits in the beautiful rolling hills of Santa Ynez.

The incredible Felissa from Of The Flowers made three unique
bouquets inspired by each gown. Stacie Ford and Caitlynn Demetrician for
Stacie Ford created beautiful and natural hair and makeup looks for
each gown embracing and playing up the bride’s beautiful natural curls
with delicate foliage inspired hair pieces by Hushed Commotion.

The reception table was set between the magnificent garden hedges
and the stone castle-like horse stables, truly making the entire day
feel like a fairy tale! Guests were welcomed to their seats with hand
calligraphed place settings on their seats and each place setting had a
beautiful torn edge menu with the same wax seal as the invitation.

Of the Flowers and Hylah White Special Events paired white and green
centerpieces with beautiful marble slabs and a mixture of silver and
crystal candlestick holders with french blue candles. Not to leave a
detail untouched the scent of the flowers from the table was just as
beautiful as the tablescape looked! A lovely dessert table was set
beneath the blooming wisteria on the other side of the stables with
macaron towers from Bottega Louie. The perfect ending to a fairytale
wedding day!
