Feeling Red, White, and Blue This Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July! Today we commemorate the birth of American independence—when, back in 1776, the Continental Congress officially adopted the Declaration of Independence. What began as a historic moment of defiance and freedom has since become a day filled with celebration, pride, and plenty of summer fun. Whether you’re honoring the holiday with backyard barbecues, hometown parades, star-spangled outfits, or a dazzling fireworks show, we hope your day is bursting with joy, laughter, and meaningful moments.

And speaking of unforgettable celebrations—what better way to mark Independence Day than with a wedding? Today we’re thrilled to feature a festive Fourth of July wedding captured by JKoe Photography set at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum. From patriotic details to an awe-inspiring fireworks finale, this event—beautifully planned by La Fete Weddings—was the perfect blend of timeless romance and American spirit.
