Dana describes her elegant California wedding to Michael as sparkly, but nothing is as sparkly as the smiles on their faces! While I love all the gorgeous decor planned by La Fete Weddings<\/a>, and the amazingly lush centerpieces of hydrangea, tulips, and orchids by Cody Floral<\/a>, it’s those smiles that really get me. I can’t even look at the gorgeous photos from Stephanie Hogue<\/a> without getting a huge grin on my own face. These two are so happy it’s contagious!<\/p>\n

What three adjectives best describe your wedding day?<\/b> Loving, delicious, sparkly!<\/i><\/p>\n

Was there a decor theme that ran through your wedding? What was the inspiration for that particular idea and how did it reflect you as a couple?<\/b> I wanted purple as our main color theme because I think it looks lush and elegant, and goes so beautifully with the setting that we chose: the blue sky and pool, green grass and trees. Sparkle became a theme after I chose my wedding dress. I love to be girly and glam. We told our guests in the invitation to bring their own sparkle as well.<\/i><\/p>\n

What were some of the different ways you used decor elements to create the beautiful, cohesive event you were envisioning?<\/b> My father made a beautiful hanging cake stand that my mother decorated with purple silk flowers. It was one of my favorite elements of the wedding. Our cake designer put a sparkly band around the cake, and our florist added beautiful real flowers to the top of it- it looked like a work of art. Our linens and flowers were different and beautiful shades of purple- they were such deep and rich tones that it enhanced the sparkly touches we added.<\/i><\/p>\n

Where did you choose to hold your wedding, and how did the location influence your decor decisions?<\/b> We were married at a private estate that my mother found. Shes a magician! It was such a beautiful property with such an incredible view, I think even if we didnt do anything it would have been gorgeous. <\/i><\/p>\n

Looking back, do you have a favorite project or successful decor idea from your wedding? Tell us what you loved about it!<\/b> I loved everything! Besides the hanging cake, I really loved the stars we hung from the trees. They looked so beautiful as it became darker outside. And the view of beautiful Santa Barbara was amazing. Truthfully, I think I had little to do with how well the day turned out. I said I want purple and sparkle, I want to pick my dress, and taste the food, and I put the rest in the capable hands of my mother and Colette Lopez<\/a>. Although I am very girly, I am easily overwhelmed by details. I knew my mother (a Santa Barbara wedding photographer) has seen hundreds of weddings and her taste is classic and beautiful. She knows what I like and what has been done to death, and had great ideas to make the day unique. As for Colette – I dont know how anyone plans a wedding without her! She was so creative and 10 steps ahead at all times. It was really the two of them that put this wedding together. I feel like I simply showed up and enjoyed the nicest wedding I had ever been to!<\/i><\/p>\n
