The Prado - Balboa Park
March 29, 2009

The Connect: The couple met through college friends while attending an outdoor festival in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The Proposal: In a hot air balloon ride over the Temecula Valley Wine Country.

The Celebration: The couple chose the Prado in Balboa Park because they both loved the romantic architecture and lush landscapes of the park. The ceremony was held at the wishing well, which was draped in orchids. Lisa and Brent both love Shakespeare so they weaved a special sonnet, read by their bridesmaids, as well as touching letters to read to one another into their ceremony. Vivid fuchsia, lime green and black were used as their accent colors which gave their wedding a fresh and stylish look. They were able to utilize the talents of many friends to help pull off a beautiful wedding.

Lisa’s Advice: “Try to spend at least five minutes alone as a couple and look at your reception.”
