El Presidio Santa Barbara wedding

As seen on Martha Stewart Weddings I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: there is something EXTRA special about being part of another wedding professional’s celebration! Nina, an incredibly talented florist and owner of Coco Rose Design, married her love, Devon, in a very “Santa Barbara vibes” wedding — they hosted their ceremony at the historic El Presidio Chapel, with a reception following at Potek Winery! The bride herself did the floral arrangements (her final moments before putting on her wedding dress were spent putting the finishing touches on her bouquet — it was so special!). Fellow Santa Barbara wedding pros Lazaro Press and Sophia Loves Letters created the paper goods for the day, and signature cocktails included the couple’s favorites: a Kentucky Mule for Devon, and a Hilo Margarita with lilikoi to honor Nina’s home state of Hawaii. At the Potek Winery reception, guests dined on pizza from Bettina, followed by McConnell’s ice cream for dessert. Here are our favorites from Nina and Devon’s El Presidio Santa Barbara wedding day!
