If there was ever a place where wedding dreams were born it would have to be Santa Barbara.  I become instantly obsessed with every wedding that comes out of this Southern California oasis and this little gem by Alexandra Kolendrianos is no exception.  It is the ultimate seaside soiree with pops of pink and teal, scrumptious arrangements of flowers tucked into every corner and the most effervescent bride and groom.  read more...

Alexandra Kolendrianos is behind one of my absolute favorite weddings. And anything that I've ever seen come out of her super chic imagination is always heavy on the romance, heavy on the glam. The details are always flawless and what's more, Alexandra always considers the experience as a whole. She designs so that the flowers compliment the food, which compliments the gown,...

This is BY FAR one of the most gorgeous weddings we've ever featured and it really needs your full and total attention. It may seem that Jessica Claire always scores the most amazing weddings but take it from me, luck has absolutely nothing to do with it. Although the photographs certainly speak for themselves, let me just say that...

Shot by the fabulously talented Allyson Magda, the wedding took place at Firestone's Crossroads Estate in Santa Ynez and featured some of THE most amazing vendors including one of my favorite florists, Mindy Rice and the ridiculously talented planner, read more...

Here is a last look at the FABULOUS wedding that Alexandra Kolendrianos sent us...filled with fun, unexpected details (like a Rolling Stone cover band) and a chic, edgy but sophisticated style.

This is such a perfect example of something that I preach on SMP...if you find a venue that already has a charm and sense of style about it, you can really cut down on the amount of decor that you bring into the space....

Okay, now on to the reception. It's so completely glam, so utterly chic, it's hard to find the right words to introduce this affair. As usual, Docuvitae has captured it to perfection so I'll just let the photographs speak for themselves...

It's kind of Holly Golightly meets Rock and Roll. Here are a few details from Alexandra...
