Get both in Santa Barbara, where romantic sunsets frame secluded, white-sand shores and postcard-perfect vineyards dot the rolling hills of the Santa Ynez. The beauty of The American Riviera® attracts approximately 3,100 couples each year to say their vows amid the King palm trees, Spanish Revival courtyards and gardens overflowing with roses, bougainvillea and birds of paradise. (Hollywood icons past and present agree: Screen legends such as Sir Laurence Olivier, Clark Gable and Gwyneth Paltrow said their vows here.) The best part? More than 300 days of sunshine each year ensure that the forecast for your big day will be 100 percent rain-free.
