Colorful and elegant Santa Lucia Preserve wedding (with a dreamy rehearsal dinner too!)

Gorgeous peony wedding decor

If you can’t tell, spring sprung early here at the 100LC HQ. From orange + yellow bridesmaids to a colorful DIY wedding, we’re living vicariously through all the sunny photos popping up in the inbox. One such wedding is that of Laura + Galen, whose eclectic style was channeled in the most elegant way, thanks to the talented Alison Events Planning + Design. And isn’t this the dreamiest escort card display in silk and flowers?! Here’s the story, as captured by Tec Petaja:

We could go on about this display for days. Ariella Chezar and Yonder Design killed it with the details.

And how about this rug-wrapped bar? Found Vintage custom-crafted it to fit Jesse’s vision, which was inspired by a hotel bar in LA.

Afterward, guests were welcomed to the barn with a series of neon lights with personalized sayings they would recognize.

As mentioned, L + G’s rehearsal dinner was a stunning affair, too, and inspired by the The Monterey Peninsula Country Club where it was held:

We have a feeling Laura + Galen’s style will inspire many a 2020 wedding design… Cheers, you two!
