We don’t often get to show all of the events surrounding a wedding, so we are super excited to bring you today’s wedding feature, coordinated by one of our Junebug members, the amazingly talented Lisa Vorce of Oh, How Charming<\/a>. We are so excited, that we decided to spread the beauty out over three days of posts! Tomorrow, you’ll get to see Cherise and Aaron’s jaw-droppingly stunning wedding photographed by Elizabeth Messina<\/a>, Monday we have an extra special giveaway from Cherise’s shoe company, Omelle<\/a> (hooray!), but today, we just had to share their incredibly stylish rehearsal dinner, photographed by Beaux Arts Photographie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cherise and Aaron chose the Santa Barbara Historical Museum<\/a> for its beautiful courtyards, fountains and rustic chandelier lined walkways. Working with the style of the location, they chose a Spanish\/Mexican theme for the evening, incorporated a cream, terra cotta, dark turquoise and washed out copper color palette. Cream paper cutouts were hand crafted with the couple’s name and wedding date, and strung around the courtyard. In a unique twist that we love, bouquets were constructed out of corn husks and imported from Nepal.<\/p>\n

Guests were served fresh margaritas, sangria and an authentic Mexican feast, topped off with a dessert of Mexican hot chocolate and churros handmade on-site. To make it even sweeter, the churros were delivered in brown paper bags, hand stamped with a turquoise stencil designed by the florist, Mindy Rice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a luxury shoe designer and all around fashion-lover, Cherise was dressed to impress in a white Dolce & Gabbana<\/a> corset and eyelet dress, topped with a vintage cropped fur jacket and her very own custom made Omelle<\/a> shoes. Aaron wore a light gray Neil Barrett suit with a white Prada<\/a> shirt, Gucci<\/a> loafers and a Paul Smith<\/a> pocket square.<\/p>\n
