Couple exiting ceremony with bubbles

Briana and Chris celebrated their late summer wedding at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort, where history, romance, and ocean views came together in the most beautiful way. Their ceremony unfolded in the venue’s charming Plaza del Sol, framed by Spanish-style architecture and open skies. A gentle breeze drifted in from the ocean beyond, creating a serene backdrop as the couple said "I do" surrounded by the people they love most.

The couple chose a soft lavender palette that carried through every detail of the day. From the bridesmaids' flowing dresses and the groomsmen's coordinating ties to the lush arrangements by Kaleidoscope Flowers, the color brought a sense of whimsy and elegance. The same light purple tones lit up the reception space with dreamy uplighting, adding a modern glow to the museum’s historic charm. The floral-adorned cake by Lilac Patisserie was a showpiece on its own, perfectly in step with the romantic theme.

Before joining their guests at the reception, Briana and Chris snuck away for a fun photo session with Elizabeth Victoria Photography, stopping at the vibrant Chromatic Gate for a splash of color, then continuing to the beach for soft, sunlit portraits. The celebration that followed, planned seamlessly by Amazing Days Events, was full of energy and joy. NV Glam kept the wedding party looking picture-perfect, and DJ JAS Productions had guests dancing late into the night on a lively, packed dance floor. Every moment reflected the couple’s style—timeless, vibrant, and full of love.
