DESIGNING WEDDINGS worth the plane ticket

OUR SWEET SPOT IS couples who care as much about THEIR GUESTS' EXPERIENCE as their own.

We're design-obsessed and detail-oriented, but what our clients tend to value most is that we think about the whole picture. The wedding day is just one part of it. We're thinking about the welcome dinner at a restaurant only locals know, the morning-after brunch, the small gestures that make guests feel like they're somewhere special. The design sets the mood. The planning makes it seamless. Both have to be there.

FOUNDER

Born and raised in the Spanish countryside, Laura spends her time between Mallorca, Spain, and San Diego, California (beach nearby was non-negotiable).

Her love for travel has taken her all over the world, from the streets of Marrakech to the beaches of Greece. She draws inspiration from art, fashion, interiors, and whatever city she happens to be in. Her eye tends to land on architecture, old tile work, the way a room is lit, how a table is set at a restaurant she'll never forget.

She loves the streets of any European city, a tapas night that turns into a late night, and weekend getaways that involve a pool and nowhere to be. The fastest way to her heart: a cappuccino and a warm croissant in the morning.

She dreams of restoring a charming Mallorcan finca one day and spending her summers on a sailboat somewhere in the Mediterranean.

  • HOPE & KEVIN, Santa Barbara

    “Laura was easily the best decision we made for our wedding. She was very organized and ahead of planning every step of the way.

    The best part about having Laura as our wedding planner was her eye for style. She carefully curated the most beautiful aesthetic for our wedding. Every little detail was thought out and matched perfectly. She listened to what we liked and what was a part of our story and brought them to life at our wedding.

    On the wedding day, Laura was there behind the scenes and made sure every little detail was finalized and executed how we planned. My wedding day was everything I could have dreamed of and more all because of Laura.”

  • KAITY AND ZACH, Malibu

    “Laura made our day the best it could have possibly been. We could not be happier with the way everything turned out!

    On the day of, she had everything perfectly organized and ready for us the entire night and it was just fabulous. It was obvious that she had worked a ton behind the scenes to perfect every little detail before the wedding. Her placement and ideas for everything were flawless and flowed so nicely.

    Her design was exactly what we wanted and envisioned, and we didn’t expect it to come together as beautifully as it did! We have been getting compliments non-stop on all the design aspects. She truly impressed us with everything, and we are so thankful for her help.”

  • KIRA AND MATT, San Diego

    “We cannot recommend Laura enough. After about two months of trying to find/book vendors and come up with a design on our own, we felt overwhelmed and discouraged. We wanted vendors that matched our style and vision and didn't scream "wedding." We finally found Laura, fell in love with her eye for design, and quickly booked with her. After that, wedding planning went from a stressful burden to a fun and exciting process.

    She is professional, responsive, pays attention to every single detail, and truly has a gift for creating gorgeous and unique designs.”

  • LIA AND JAY, Barcelona

    “We couldn't have had such a magical wedding celebration without Laura's guidance every step of the way. She helped us both shape and execute our vision. Her title as "wedding stylist" is a perfect one - from our first video calls and venue tours, we always felt lucky and at ease with her exquisite design eye and ability to curate such beauty and romance for our event. From the smallest detail of hand-stitched napkins to the overarching flow of an intimate evening. Working with Laura was an absolute pleasure. “
