Rose & Jason's Intimate Private Estate Wedding

Rose and Jason had a gorgeous private estate wedding with lots of special touches. One of our favorites was that rather than a guest book, they had guests put a message in a bottle and write the year anniversary that they, the newlyweds, should open the special message. Their family-style served dinner went perfectly with the Santa Barbara summer evening and surroundings (check out the Mediterranean Potato accompaniment below) and was topped off with delicious wedding cake from Christine Dahl Pastries.
