Two stunning floral installations by Wild West Florals set the tone for the day. At the ceremony, a meandering floral path guided guests to their seats, framed by an abundance of elegant white blooms, soft greenery, and subtle hints of blue. It felt like stepping into a secret garden—effortlessly romantic and perfectly in harmony with the natural setting. Later, as guests entered the reception, they were greeted by a breathtaking flower arch that created the dreamiest photo-op nook, welcoming everyone into the celebration with style and charm.
The ceremony took place on the Montecito Club lawn, with views of the ocean stretching out beyond the horizon. Jackie and Will exchanged vows surrounded by nature, love, and laughter—an emotional and picturesque moment that was as beautiful as it was personal. Their joy was infectious, and their connection undeniable.
Cocktail hour was held on the Montecito Club’s immaculate lawn, styled with chic lounge areas and classic country club sun umbrellas that gave the whole scene a relaxed, upscale vibe. But the true stars of cocktail hour? Two adorable llamas—Jackie’s dream come true. These fluffy guests of honor instantly stole the spotlight, posing for photos and delighting guests while drinks flowed and conversations sparked.
As the sun dipped behind the mountains, guests moved into the Montecito Club’s elegant reception space. Candlelight flickered on carefully styled tables, music filled the air, and the celebration came to life. The atmosphere was upscale but never stiff—just the right balance of refined and relaxed, exactly what a Montecito Club wedding does best.
Jackie and Will wrapped up their unforgettable day with an epic dance floor—lit, lively, and full of energy. From the first spin to the last beat, they brought down the house, surrounded by their favorite people.
