Santa Barbara Historical Museum Wedding: Katy + Andrew

Katy and Andrew’s Santa Barbara Historical Museum wedding had something that we had never seen before (which is quite a feat since we have photographed about 250 weddings!) and we cannot recommend enough for everyone who likes getting the conversation going with some fun drinking games: a Spanish porron vessel.

The Spanish porron vessel is like a wine decanter from which you can pour a thin stream of wine into your mouth. The fun thing is that you can pull the porron vessel away from your face and pour wine into your mouth from a distance. When Katy and Andrew went from table to table to visit their guests, they shared this fun drinking aid and created a memorable experience for all of their guests. It was the epitome of what we love most about modern weddings: that brides and grooms often use their weddings as an opportunity to share fun and unique experiences with all of their friends and families.

Big thanks to Style Me Pretty for sharing this gorgeous wedding!
