Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel, Santa Barbara, CA
JONA & ZACH’S WEDDING
Jona and Zack’s elegant beach wedding at the Rosewood Miramar Beach was straight from a dream. Effortless, elegant and edgy, this Santa Barbara wedding transformed a luxury five-star hotel into the party of a lifetime. Rosewood Miramar Beach is a luxury wedding venue resting above one of the most pristine and idyllic beaches on the California coast. Designed with style, grace and glamour, we couldn’t wait to design and execute a timeless celebration at this idyllic coastal retreat.
As a music industry professional, our bride prioritized art, music and design for her wedding day. Everything from live music performances to gallery-worthy desserts was curated with intention, and it was an incredible honor to bring this day to life.
On the morning of their wedding day, Jona and Zack basked in luxury. Jona stepped into her luxury Vera Wang gown on the balcony of her Rosewood Miramar suite while Zack and their son Mercer explored the hotel grounds, eager to watch the day’s magic unfold.
For their ceremony, we created an elegant and timeless design. Our focal piece was a lush installation brimming with cloud-like white and ivory florals that spiraled around the arch the beams and cascaded onto the stairs and ground below. To create an edgy and chic vibe, we leaned into a classic black and white color palette – with pops of grey, beige and rose – to elevate the mood. Black bentwood chairs added an edgy feel to the elegant ceremony setting, and white aisle runners and floral installations created stark contrast to create a luxe, modern feel.
After the ceremony, Jona and Zack kicked off their reception with glasses of bubbly. For the dinner to follow, we designed an edgy and modern reception in the hotel’s luxury space. On every reception table, we used high-end fabrics like chiffon table runners, custom nude gauze and natural ivory linens to pull in a soft, romantic vibe. Then we layered in focal accents with black taper candles, matte black flatware and smoke-colored glassware to add drama to the design. Floral details elevated the tablescape design, as we worked with Siren Floral Co. to design large and lush living garlands that sprawled across each table, spilling gracefully down to the floor.
This luxury Santa Barbara wedding wouldn’t be complete without thoughtful touches were you might least expect them. The cake – the bride’s only non-negotiable – wasn’t your average dessert. We sourced an edgy and ethereal cake from Jasmine Rae Cakes, creating a statement art masterpiece at the dessert table. For the first dance, the DJ sounds quieted and one of the bride’s clients, Shaun Ross, stepped onto the dance floor to serenade the couple for their first dance as husband and wife. Even the smallest details were given attention, including unique black signage and handmade cocktail menus from Carta Plena.
This modern and timeless Rosewood Miramar Beach wedding was one for the books.
