Flutter Wedding Magazine Features Felici Events

It is truly an honor and it warms our hearts when Felici Event work is recognized by others aside from our clients!  We just received news that Felici Events was featured in Flutter Magazine's latest issue Summer Lovin'!  

Flutter Magazine highlights our first wedding of the year located at a private venue in Hollister Ranch.  The pictures can be found on page 87 of the magazine.  The theme of the wedding was ranch chic, with colors of green, white, and neural.  Could not have captured the beauty of the wedding without Willa Kveta Photography!

Classic Colors Orange and Teal at the Santa Barbara Zoo

Celebrating the anniversary of this WILD wedding of our #Felicified  Couple.

The details and colors of the wedding incorporated all elements, the bride's personality, bright colors of classic orange and teal, the beach, tropical foliage and the giraffes at the zoo.

The ceremony took place at the Santa Barbara Yacht Club, where the Father of the Bride is a member and avid boatman.

The bridal bouquet made a statement with cascading white phalaenopsis orchids and touches of yellow ones.

ADORABLE flower girl!  The bamboo basket brought texture and interest rather than a flower basket.

This weekend marks a very special wedding for Felici Events, as we are producing the wedding of Danielle and Matt.  Danielle first met Zohe back in 2007, when she applied for an internship with her. Five years later, when Danielle called me to let me know she was getting married, and wanted me as her wedding planner, I was thrilled, touched and honored to be a part of Danielle and Matt's future and BIG day!  We're celebrating their nuptials this week-end in Wine Country, and boy do we have some treats in store.

Even more exciting is working with the creative and talented Dustin Waller of Waller Weddings Photography.  He showcases his talents and creativity below, as he took the happy couple through various of Santa Barbara's backdrops to capture their engagement pictures.

Of course, our favorite, as dog lovers, is the one with Harlow, their puggle and ring barer.

Traditional spanish style cultural event and wedding venue

Felicidades y Viva  Mexico!!!!

Old Spanish Days hits close to home for me, as I was born in Mexico City and lived there until I was five, and visit as often as I can.

In honor of Mexican Independence Day - celebrated on September 16th - I want to share one of our favourite weddings that we have produced at this authentic and rustic Spanish style venue.

Casa De La Guerra is one of the most important remnants of Santa Barbara's Spanish-Mexican heritage and offers one of the most charming outdoor courtyards in all of Santa Barbara for any festivity.

Located in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, it’s zoning allows for a later noise curfew, making it one of the few outdoor venues permitted to play music as late as 1 a.m.

Another advantage of this picturesque Spanish Colonial location is its proximity to various downtown hotels.  This allows for out of town guests to easily walk to and home from the party as well as experience Santa Barbara’s local nightlife.

Casa De La Guerra Spanish Decor Hanging Lanterns

Ideal for rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, corporate dinners or any party; the Casa is a great choice and offers complete privacy for your event.  With the ability to bring in your own rentals, caterers, etc. personalizing this venue is easy and does not break the bank while you enjoy your festivities under the stars!

#Professional #wedding #vendors

Proof of why hiring a team of professional wedding vendors are a must have for your BIG - wedding - day.

I have heard it over one hundred times times, for pretty much every type of vendor:

"Oh, my cousin done events and will make sure the day runs smoothly, we don't need a coordinator"

"I have an aunt who used to have a flower shop and will make the flowers"

"I have a good friend who is a commercial photographer"

Pictures speak louder than words.  This is why it is imperative to have a team of experienced wedding professionals (in this case, photographer) (coordinator, florist, etc) on the BIGGEST day of your lives!  You could be gambling it all if you don't.

#FeliciEvents #Jeopardy - What are we describing below?

Like a DMV experience (Vegas without the Elvis) Cannot mess up on the form or there is a $45 fee

$87.00 for the license

You should try to download the form early / able to?

Information to be prepared to answer:

• First last and middle name of parents and city of where they were born
• Know what you want to be called for the rest of your life

Good idea to bring a 'witness' because so much is going on, they can be there to  listen.

Makes it feel legal and official, clerical, staring down the barrel of your future....

Engagement Spotlight- Stephanie and Tyler

Tyler and Stephanie met at their Alma Mater, Occidental College. Tyler took Stephanie to a concert in Hollywood for their first date where they bonded over their shared passions for music and traveling. In fact, they have now attended over 40 concerts together and completed two cross-country road trips as well as one through France and Germany!

A year into dating, they discovered their love for dogs after they rescued two strays and have since become volunteers at the SPCA. Tyler and Stephanie live in San Francisco with their dog, Ava. Tyler works as a carpenter and Stephanie works at a non-profit consulting firm.

Their wedding will take place this October in a beautiful estate in Montecito with the help of Felici Events!

Engagement Spotlight- Megan and Luc

Megan and Luc, Santa Barbara locals and UCSB alumni, actually met in LA a few years back through Herbalife. After struggling for a year in the friend zone (and many karaoke duets later), Luc pulled the romantic curtains over Megan's eyes with the help of beautiful Sun Valley, Idaho, where he grew up. The hot springs under the stars maneuver has proven successful for many young male Sun Valleyites. As fate would have it, Sun Valley became the same setting for Luc's proposal.

Together, Megan and Luc now run Active Nutrition Center in Santa Barbara. The trick to gracefully mixing business with pleasure is no doubt their ability to HAVE FUN!

The two will be tying the knot this September at Coghlan Winery with the help of Felici Events in a casual California country-themed affair that is sure to be a blast!

Lime Green and Purple Decor - Another Felici Event

How to Create a Theme with Colors

An elegant and fun way to create themes can be done thru color schemes and shapes.

A great example is this REAL FELICI WEDDING for Jennifer and Stephen who used purple and green spheres as their inspiration. To convey the theme to guests right off the bat, their invitations by  Lazaro Press included the lavender and pale green puffs. 

On their reception night at The Canary Hotel, Nico Designs adorned each table with a centerpiece featuring giant green and purple chrysanthemums orbs resting on beds of rock.

Lighting is a dramatic way to convey a color scheme that immediately changes the mood of a room. Bella Vista Designs lit up the evening celebration with lavender lights around the room.

A wedding cake is the culmination and epitome of any wedding’s theme. Instead of creating a polka dotted cake, Montecito Confections used green chrysanthemums trailing up the side of the cake and onto the top adorned with cymbidium orchids.

A huge Thank You to the wonderful Melissa Musgrove for capturing these wonderful images and work of art.
