Real Wedding: Georgia & Nate

Thank you all for your patience as I took my sweet time with this post! I think you'll see, though, that it was well worth the wait. The venue is beautiful, the flowers are stunning, as are all of the thoughtful details, and of course Jose Villa captured it all perfectly.


The ceremony took place at Georgia's parents' home in Montecito, California.




The couple lived in Barcelona for most of their engagement, and Georgia became friends with Cortana, a boutique dressmaker there (93/310-3112). She custom-made the beautiful dress. Georgia also wore darling flats by Miu Miu.




All of the gorgeous flowers were done by the talented Camille Panzarello from Modern Day Design.


Nate wore a suit by Paul Smith, and custom shoes by Andre #1.










Nate's brother-in-law made the wrought iron arch for the ceremony, and worked the date of the wedding into the top of the arch. The ceremony was officiated by Saral Burdette.


Another friend of the bride, Heidi Merrick, made the bridesmaid dresses in shades of blue.






Georgia and Nate made watermelon cucumber juice for guests to enjoy after the ceremony.




Georgia had wonderful things to say about Rebecca Stone of Duet Weddings, her day-of coordinator - someone you'd definitely want around on your big day!


The reception took place just down the road from the house, at the Valley Club of Montecito.






The vanilla buttercream cake by Siblings Bakery was filled with fresh strawberries and decorated with figs and edible flowers.



Congratulations Georgia and Nate - thank you so much for sharing your beautiful day with Snippet & Ink! And thank you to all of the talented people who helped to make it such a lovely event, including Jose Villa, Camille Panzarello, and Rebecca Stone. A special thank you to Jose's assistant, Lacie, who was a huge help in getting these gorgeous photos to me. And if you haven't already be sure to stop by Jose's blog for tons of inspiration!

I don't know if it's Jose Villa's photos, or the lovely colors and textures, or if Georgia's parents just need to start renting out their home for weddings, but this is an amazing wedding! Thanks for sharing.

This is my very favorite Real Wedding featured here. I adore everything: the blooms, her shoes, her dress, the groom (!), the bridesmaid dresses, etc etc etc.

Simply the best.
