Romantic Santa Barbara Elopement Inspiration

Romantic Santa Barbara Inspiration

Need a little whimsy + romance for your Wednesday? (Us, too. Us, too.) And, as luck would have it, today’s ethereal and romantic elopement inspiration delivers all that and more with a thousand sweet + inspiring ideas! Since no one really knows the details like the visionaries behind them, Mark of Cluney Photo tells us all about the setting he collabed on with the floral + event design squad at Habitat Events below. Then, stick around and scroll through all of Mark’s pretty photos. They’re sure to be just the thing to get you through the rest of the day!

Our inspiration flowed from F. Scott Fitzgerlad’s, “Breathing Dreams Like Air”. The golden light in Santa Barbara provided the perfect backdrop for a natural arbor of fluttering dreamcatchers and ethereal florals. We love that dreamcatchers represent the bond of life with no beginning or end and wanted to have all the beauty arise from that sentiment.

The signage for the shoot and this pretty tablescape was a partnership between Cast Calligraphy, who designed the paper goods, and Olive and Bay, who handled all the calligraphy!
