Beautiful Wedding Dress and the Groom’s Military Dress Blues

The girls having fun in their limobus on the way to the Prado!

Groom & his Groomsmen in their pre-ceremony bridal party photos

The ladies strike a fun pre-ceremony bridal party pose!

This stunning purple and ivory bouquet was created by Bethany at Splendid Sentiments. Love the personalized rhinestone brooch and detail work on the handle. One of Bethany’s signature creations.

The girls peak out the Prado’s bridal holding room, while the guys take their photos around the Park.

The bride and groom take their pre-ceremony photos separate from one another… anxiously awaiting the ceremony!

Beautiful ceremony floral design by Bethany at Splendid Sentiments – it was breathtaking. Loved the crystal details and floral Pomander centered in the middle of the wishing well.

Loved this soft ivory scrolling petal design on the grass area and down the sides of the aisles and the little touch of the floating dahlias in the pond.

More beautiful ceremony details, the candle lighting ceremony items with matching purple lighters, loved the florals by Splendid Sentiments on the Wishing Well.

Sign-In Book, which was at the Rehearsal as well. Added engagement photos to the sign-in table.

Beautiful sounds of Collin Elliott’s acoustic guitar filled the air as guests take their seats.

Kyle anxiously awaits his bride as she makes her way down the Prado stairs onto the aisle…

The large bridal party and handsome groom sees his bride coming down the aisle, wish I knew what the Officiant whispered into Kyle’s ear to give him such a smile!

Here she comes down the aisle… love the expression on Kyle’s face!

The Bridal Party were each given a coin and then (strategically – cause there were 22 of them!) they filed around the wishing well and when instructed threw their coin in the pond making a “Well Wishes for the Mr. and Mrs.”

Here the couple is tossing in their coins to the Prado pond, the bride and groom tossed in their own coins as well – wishing many blessing over their own marriage I’m sure!

This was one of my favorite parts of the ceremony, they had their own very special moment behind the wishing well while Collin Elliott played a song. There were heartfelt tears of joy and sweet moments of laughter!

More of the wedding kiss and now the introduction for the first time… “As husband and wife”!

No military wedding would be complete without the infamous sword arch ceremony… the couple enters down the aisle passing under the swordsmen, then at the end the last two Swordsmen stop them from exiting with their swords crossed, then the couple enjoy another martial kiss – then as they pass swordsmen lightly taps the bride on the booty with his sword! So cute and love the personal touch to their ceremony!

Swordsmen stop the couple with their swords before they exit the ceremony area for one more kiss!

More beautiful shots around Balboa Park of the bridal party and them just the newly married couple.

Love this shot of the couple in front of the large wood brown door and of course, the sweet shot of the Bride kissing her handsome groom! So happy!
