Written by Alexandra Lee
Photographs by Tynan Daniels
When Greg and Mishel Rohl searched for an ideal luxury vacation home in Santa Barbara wine country, Greg’s one non-negotiable was a bit different than you'd expect. It wasn't a pool, not a sauna or home theater, not a tricked-out party barn (though they have one of those, too). It was a pond. A pond just big enough to fish (catch & release only), swim and paddle, for a community of bass, bluegill, and turtles to thrive, and for an island with a d ..read more

Sought after planner Wedding Kate’s insight on the pressures of making your wedding on brand
Written by Wedding Kate

Her opinion has always been such a thorn in my side, and she never shies away from sharing.” A bride confided in me in 2009, Pre-Socials in a linen meeting when she decided to go off the rails on her fabric choice. You remember, the old days when the opinions of those on the guest list were not only the only opinions that mattered, but really the only people privy to the sights, sounds, taste, environment and textiles of a wedding. Now, the world ..read more
