Ashley Zarlin and Adam Huebner’s wedding at Sunstone Villa is one I will never forget. Inspired by the romance of the French countryside and timeless Old World charm, Ashley and Adam welcomed 120 of their closest family and friends to Santa Ynez wine country for a truly unforgettable celebration. Surrounded by Sunstone Villa’s stunning vineyards and European-inspired architecture, every detail was intentionally designed to feel warm, elevated, and inviting. Their heartfelt ceremony, accompanied by a live violinist and framed by lush florals, set the tone for the day. Guests then enjoyed cocktail hour overlooking the vineyards while a live saxophonist created the perfect atmosphere before making their way to a candlelit reception beneath the stars. Ashley and Adam envisioned a wedding that felt timeless, romantic, and welcoming, and every detail reflected that vision. Each thoughtful design elements came together to create an atmosphere that felt less like a traditional wedding and more like an intimate dinner party with the people they love most. My favorite detail was the hand-selected stack of plates at each place setting, which greeted guests as they sat down and added another layer of charm, texture, and intentionality to the tablescape. One of my favorite moments was seeing months of planning finally come to life as each space became ready for guests to enjoy. Watching the furniture, florals, signage, linens, and carefully selected color palette transform the property into a cohesive and immersive experience was incredibly rewarding. I am so proud of the incredible creative teams that helped bring Ashley and Adam’s vision to life and create a celebration that felt both elegant and deeply personal.
