SARAH & KYLE ~ A PERFECT MATCH.COM PART 2
DECOR DETAILS AND THE CELEBRATION!
Part 2 of the Sarah & Kyle’s beautiful purple, ivory and gold wedding at the Prado at Balboa Park in San Diego showcases the details of the decor in the reception and the rest of the couple’s beautiful and fun wedding day!
It was such a wonderful experience pairing up with Bethany at Splendid Sentiments on the floral design & decor or this wedding. Bethany and her team went above and beyond in creating the beautiful floral pieces for each wedding location at the Prado... I especially loved the escort card table with it’s vignette of florals at the base of glass cylinders and the large gold Mazanita dripping with crystals & candles. The darling paper elements created by Whimsique Designer Invitation and Stationery really helped pull the theme and look together. While Cole Joseph Photography & Luke McCain Videography were great to work with, professional and really captured the magic of the day. I was so honored to work with such an awesome couple and professional team of vendors!

Mr. and Mrs. Chair signs from Esty.com… they are later used as “Thank You” signs.
Grand entrance was so much fun ~ bridal party came in with photo-booth props, then Sarah & Kyle came in with so much excitement & really got down on the dancefloor ~ showing how truly connected and fun they are.
Then the couple slowed things down with their First Dance. They shed happy tears and smiles… LOVE!

Sarah and Kyle used his military sword for the cake cutting… that was a first foe me! Love the pic of Sarah licking the sword is hilarious… and yes, Kyle did it too.

Sarah surprised Kyle with a Groom’s cake (By Flour Power) that looked like a pizza, which is his favorite food! We put flowers in the beer bottles to complete the look.
Specialty cocktails flowed throughout the evening!
