Taylor + Tyler | Private Estate- Santa Barbara

Taylor & Tyler’s idea of a ‘dream wedding’ included Taylor’s family summer home, a very special wedding cake topper, and a whole lot of tequila.

Guests arrived to this stunning Santa Barbara Rivera home to be greeted with both stunning coastal and breathtaking mountain views.

The mountain-backed ceremony was concluded with the release of doves and loud cheers from loved ones! After a mix & mingle cocktail hour, all guests were shone to the escort card table which was stocked with shots of tequila, each with a lime and their table seating attached- “Take a Shot and Find Your Spot”.

Guests then dined on a Santa Barbara Taco Station while watching the sun dip below the mountains into the ocean. After many more tequila shots and some starlit dancing- guests were asked to come inside and share a special and intimate moment with the newlyweds and Taylor’s Grandparents. Everyone circled the cake table and watched in awe as Taylor’s grandparents explained how they saved their wedding cake topper all these years just to have the proud experience of sharing it through generations. After everyone munched on some of Christine Dahl’s delectable cake- they moved back outside and danced the rest of the night away.
