PRADO AT BALBOA PARK

PART 2 – THE CELEBRATION

In this Social Butterfly, a Monarch Weddings’ blog, Part 2 “The Celebration” you will see stunning details of this blush, ivory, black and gold Great Gatsby inspired wedding  at the Prado at Balboa Park.  There was glitz, glamor, opulence and beauty.  There are many Gatsby  themed details from the mini champagne bottle favors with art deco designed place-cards, to the elaborate candy station (La Dolce Desserts) and stunning opulent floral centerpieces with feathers crystals and pearls (Splendid Sentiments Floral Design), to the beautiful laser cut menus by Whimsique and gorgeous rose gold, black and antique gold sequin linens and white and crystal lounge pieces from Concepts Event Design. And what would a Gatsby themed wedding be without a beautiful champagne tower?

Receptions: Courtyard & Ballroom at the Prado at Balboa Park

Colors: Black, Gold and Ivory and Blush. We pulled in more of the black and gold (Gatsby colors) at the cocktail and dinner reception, while the ceremony site was softer with it’s pale blush and ivory tones.
