Candice the planner tells us more about the wedding

Katie and Joey’s intimate wedding at Demetria Estate in Santa Barbara was a heartwarming celebration of love, rustic charm, and autumnal beauty. Their story began with a serendipitous meeting at a university bar, culminating in a vineyard proposal surrounded by friends and family.

The wedding, set in the picturesque Los Olivos wine country, embraced a boho atmosphere with earthy tones, warm neutrals, and hints of rust. The couple exchanged vows under a majestic oak tree, with wooden pews adding a timeless charm.

A standout moment was the Italian market-inspired buffet adorned with fresh herbs and lemons, capturing the couple’s love for rustic simplicity. Katie looked stunning in a Hayden Olivia Bridal gown, while Joey and their wedding party exuded elegance, perfectly complementing the fall foliage and natural beauty of the venue. Their day was an unforgettable blend of romance and intimate details.
