There’s something about spring that makes Villa Montalvo (Montalvo Arts Center) feel even more like a fairytale—and this styled wedding brought that dream to life in the most timeless, romantic way. Designed by the incredibly talented Styled By Linds, this day was full of soft color, refined details, and an energy that felt as fresh and effortless as a spring breeze.

Every corner of the estate became a canvas for beauty—blush and lavender blooms with just the right pop of green, spilling out of centerpieces and bouquets that felt wild, yet thoughtfully arranged. The floral design brought that perfect balance of structured and free-flowing, like the garden itself was celebrating.

And let’s talk about the cake. A three-tier stunner in the softest shade of mint, detailed with sugar flowers so lifelike, you had to lean in just to believe they weren’t real. It stood like a piece of art under classic arches—delicate, whimsical, and totally unexpected in the best way.

The entire day flowed with an ease that can only happen when you have a creative team who’s truly in sync. Every element, from the fashion to the paper goods, felt intentional without trying too hard. Classic with a fresh twist. Elevated without being overdone.

This editorial was recently featured on Carats and Cake, and it’s no surprise—it’s the kind of visual story that lingers. One of those days where it all just… works.

Scroll through for all the beauty, the softness, and the springtime magic.

MEET THE WRITER

Whitney

My heart and passion for this work is summed up by the act of service. From the first wedding I ever photographed to ones years later—I’ve yet to come down from the high of being part of a couple’s best day and putting it in digital form to look back on for a lifetime. I take my craft seriously, and that means serving you in all aspects on your wedding day, and the days leading up to it.
