Montecito Club wedding

If you’re dreaming of an Italian-inspired Montecito Country Club wedding with a whole lot of personality, Yara and Alec’s day might just be your new obsession. Set against the backdrop of Santa Barbara’s coastline, Montecito Club offers a stunning blend of Mediterranean architecture and modern luxury. It was a perfect choice for this couple’s vibrant, joy-filled celebration.

From the start, Yara and Alec knew they wanted their wedding to feel lively, elegant, and full of color. Their wedding planner, Alison Rose, helped them design a day of bold florals, citrus details, and a palette that leaned into sunny orange, deep coral, and sage green. The design felt straight out of the Amalfi Coast, with the Aperol spritzes and espresso martinis at cocktail hour to kept guests refreshed and firmly in vacation mode.

Yara stunned in a modern gown with romantic detailing, while Alec looked effortlessly classic in a tailored tux. They said their vows overlooking the Pacific, with sun peeking through the clouds just as they made it official.

The real magic happened at the reception. As a nod to Yara’s Lebanese heritage, the night kicked off with a high-energy Zaffa: traditional Lebanese wedding dancers who paraded into the reception with drums, cheers, and a lot of dancing. It was electric, emotional, and the perfect way to welcome guests into the celebration.

If you’re planning a Montecito Country Club wedding and want it to feel like the best dinner party you’ve ever been to (with a side of tradition and a splash of spritz), Yara and Alec’s day is proof you can have it all.
