Talking about vineyards...

Jihan Abdalla, one of my favorite photographers in Los Angeles, photographed the very special wedding of Wendy and Greg at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, which was all about and around wines.


Save the dates, RSVP's, invitations and place cards and personalized labels on wine bottles were playful variations of the wine theme - of course the wine served with dinner was from the finest.

We don't have to be wine affectionados though to appreciate the creative recycling corks for place cards idea.

Kiley Walker, a wedding planner colleague in Santa Barbara tells wonderful tales of Rachel Baker, owner of Rock Paper Scissors Design. Rachel designed the save-the-dates in a mini-crate, which held an engraved cork with the couple's logo, wedding date and location. The tri-fold invite explained the history of the wedding venue and of the varietal (the couple) - and the bottle itself was part of the opening act.
