Laravel - Validate only letters, numbers and spaces using regex

I am trying to validate a field made ​​up of letters, numbers and spaces in this way:

$rules = array(
    'field'=> 'regex:/([A-Za-z0-9 ])+/'
);

but if I try to insert characters like ' " and others, the validation still has to be successful.

What's wrong 'in my regular expression?

If you are working with utf-8

$rules = array(
    'field'=> 'regex:/(^[\pL0-9 ]+$/u'
);
