A Spring Soirée Rooted in Riviera Romance
Emily Loeppke Photography · Santa Barbara, CA
The Story
Set against the lush, rolling greens of the Montecito Club, Yara and Alec’s spring wedding was a masterclass in modern coastal elegance. Drawing inspiration from their shared upbringing along the California shoreline, the couple curated an "elevated Spanish" aesthetic that felt like a contemporary love letter to the Riviera. Bright pops of citrus orange infused the design with a vibrant Italian Summer warmth, a nostalgic nod to a formative trip they shared to Lake Como. Beyond the stunning visuals captured by photographer Emily Loeppke, the evening centered on high-spirited hospitality, overflowing with premium cocktails and heartfelt toasts. The celebration reached its peak when a traditional Lebanese Zaffe energized the dance floor, a powerful tribute to the bride’s heritage that transformed the sophisticated venue into a joyful, rhythmic gala.
