Furtado and Winkler’s enchanting Montecito wedding captured in stunning photos.
Sierra Furtado, the popular beauty YouTuber, and Sam Winkler, founder of Liquipel Inc., celebrated their wedding on Saturday, July 20.
The couple exchanged vows at the beautiful Beaumont Estate in Montecito, California, surrounded by 130 of their closest friends and family members. The event took place in a charming Spanish-style villa, providing a picturesque setting for their special day.
“Montecito holds a special place in our hearts,” Furtado shared with People. “It was the first place Sam and I visited as a couple, and we immediately fell in love with its charm and beauty.
The town’s incredible details and picturesque scenery make it the perfect backdrop for our special day. There’s something magical about Montecito that resonates with us, making it the ideal location to celebrate our love.”
The wedding weekend kicked off with a welcome party that featured local wines, oyster shucking, and a live band. Guests enjoyed a refreshing sorbet presentation to round out the evening.
The next day, the couple held a traditional Jewish ceremony onsite beneath a chuppah, with their parents by their sides. The floral design was crafted by Birch Event Design, and the wedding was planned by Pure Lavish Events. Videographer Peyton Frank captured the entire celebration on film.
Ballerinas graced the aisle before Furtado made her grand entrance with her father. They walked to the tune of Steven Sanchez’s “Until I Found You,” performed by a string quartet.
During the ceremony, the couple exchanged heartfelt, handwritten vows under the guidance of Rabbi Ian, while guests shaded themselves with umbrellas.
The chuppah was adorned with lush lilacs and lavender flowers, and the aisle was lined with lavender, creating a serene and beautiful atmosphere. The floral arrangements featured roses in soft lavender, blush, and silver shades, adding to the dreamy garden setting.
Furtado wore three different dresses throughout her wedding day. While getting ready with her bridal party, she paid tribute to her ballerina roots by wearing a Rime Arodaky dress paired with Miu Miu ballet flats.
For the ceremony, she chose the Monique Lhuillier Papillon Gown from the 2024 Spring-Summer collection, which was covered in delicate lace flowers and featured long sleeves and a high neck.
She accessorized with pear-dropped diamond earrings. Her final outfit of the evening was a playful strapless mini dress designed by Nicole + Felicia Couture. Each ensemble was unified with a white rose adornment, connecting the outfits seamlessly.
Winkler complemented his bride with a white suit jacket and black pants, paired with a black bowtie. For the reception, he swapped his white jacket for a black one, creating a sleek evening look.
Guests enjoyed a delicious meal catered by 24 Carrots Catering, featuring horseradish panna cotta, grilled prime filet, and roasted Chilean sea bass. For their first dance as a married couple, Furtado and Winkler chose “Unchained Melody,” performed by the string quartet.
The ballerinas also performed during dinner, adding an extra touch of elegance to the evening. Dessert was a grand 8-tiered strawberry shortcake, decorated with fresh flowers.
The wedding festivities concluded with a lively pool party, complete with local pizza and custom cocktails. Guests lounged around the luxurious Beaumont Estate, celebrating the newlyweds.
Furtado and Winkler first met in 2020 when they were introduced by a mutual friend aboard a boat in Newport. From that chance meeting, the couple became inseparable.
Winkler proposed on July 20, 2022, the anniversary of their first official date, during a romantic boat ride in Capri, Italy. As their boat approached the Tunnel of Love, he got down on one knee and asked Furtado to marry him beneath the arch.
The wedding was attended by notable guests, including Bachelor Nation’s Amanda Stanton, Selling the OC’s Alex Hall, and influencers Adelaine Morin, Teala Dunn, Alisha McDonal, Remi Cruz, and Lauren Riihimaki.
“We believe that love is the energy of life, and without a partner to share that lifetime with, the meaning of life is diminished,” Furtado expressed. “Having someone who cares about you, loves you, and stands by you through thick and thin is the essence of life.
For us, getting married signifies the start of the next chapter, where we look forward to having kids and building a family together.”
Furtado and Winkler’s wedding was a beautiful celebration of love, filled with meaningful moments, elegant details, and the presence of loved ones. As they embark on this new chapter, their wedding in Montecito will always hold a special place in their hearts.
