Raan Parton and Lindsay Horstman Wedding

Here are several photos from a wedding we did last weekend. This spectacular and joyous event was at the famous and unmatched Biltmore Resort here in Santa Barbara. This lovely couple designed their wedding around vintage retro flair, a simple black and white palate, feathers, and plenty of personal touches. These gorgeous pictures were taken by the incredibly talented Raya Carlisle...she was a joy to work with and she captured Raan and Lindsay's style perfectly.






Yes...they are dancing on the tables!! So fun!

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Parton! TOAST feels blessed to have been a part of your wedding.

Romantic Dinner Party

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE....garden roses and dinner parties.. romantic candlelight helps..as does a nice bottle(s) of red wine. Friends and family had a wonderful time at Amy Clarks home in Montecito.

Coastal Couture Bridal Shower

So Ms. Mia Vesanen is getting married and her dear friends, Dawn O'Donnell and Christie Glanville decided to throw an over the top--delightfully glamourous--bridal shower for her. The O'Donnell's beautiful backyard in Hope Ranch, Santa Barbara was the backdrop for this fun shower.

This arrangement was a fun one....let's just say it lost its blance in the kitchen while we were making it (several times! ) We used a rope ball candle holder from ZGallery as a base for this ball os coral roses, hydrangeas, driftwood, sea shells, and even dried seafans. Thanks to Jessica Fairchild Photography for these awesome pictures.

The bride is from Oklahoma and so Dawn suprised her with an area that we concealed until it was time for gift, smores, and a special book about armadillos (mating rituals!) Let's just say that Mia squealed with surprise and delight!! I love when clients really know the person they are throwing a party for and take extra steps to personalize the party.

Ode to Oklahoma!! Congratulations Mia!!

Surprise 60th Birthday Bash on the Beach!

Welcome to our new BLOG! We are excited to share ideas, pictures, and fun stories! We have been busy with parties and weddings, a new website: http://www.toastsantabarbara.com/, and planning new parties to come!

Here are some recent pictures from Annie Collins recent suprise 60th birthday party. Her sweet husband Jim came to TOAST with the most thoughtful idea. He wanted to throw an imtimate suprise dinner party for his beloved wife at their family beach home in Carpinteria. The beachouse was so charming with family heirlooms and precious photos adorning the walls on faded photo paper!

We decided to go with a classy and casual beach theme. Using distressed wooden chairs and burlap table cloths, we wanted the party to feel airy and casual while remaining elegant and feminine. Enjoy!
