We hope you don’t tire of us talking about how beautiful some California venues and locations are. Sometimes we think we’ve seen it all and then Elizabeth Messina sends us a peek at a private Santa Barbara wedding like this one and our love for SoCal goes up a notch. The San Ysidro Ranch is exceptionally gorgeous. It’s the place Hollywood goes to escape and icons like John & Jackie Kennedy spend their honeymoon. A weekend retreat if you’re a CA resident, or an intimate destination wedding? Sure!

I am such a huge Elizabeth Messina fan and she really doesn’t disappoint with these photos. California really does have such incredibly beautiful and classic venues; I’ve been on the search for something similar in NY for a long time. I have a few favorites that I keep going back to, but I’m determined to find something Cali-esq to offer my clients.
yay-thank you so much…xoxo RT @100LayerCake: An exclusive sneak peek at @KissTheGroom’s feature in @theknot: http://t.co/5cOTLOlR
The venue is really gorgeous. I specially love the outdoor space. It is really lovely when I see the picture with the orange trees.
Love them both! RT @100layercake: Dreamy wedding by @KissTheGroom + a peek at her feature in the latest @theknot mag: http://t.co/wRTrPcDU
