Real Wedding: Nicole & Alex

To kick off a week of real weddings, I want to share this beautiful wedding that the talented Leigh Miller sent to me, held in April at The Prado at Balboa Park in San Diego, the same place where Alex proposed to Nicole. They are both transplants to San Diego, and almost all of their guests traveled from out of town to attend the wedding, so it served as a reunion of sorts. And with only 40 guests, the couple was able to really spend time with everyone.






Nicole's darling orange shoes were from J.Crew. Her jewelry was designed by a friend, Abbe Long.


Nicole wore a dress by Melissa Sweet.


I love this shot of Nicole and Alex about to see each other for the first time, right before the ceremony.


Nicole's hair and makeup was done by Desiree at The Hair and Body Bar.






Flowers were purchased from and arranged by Wholesale Flowers.


The officiant was a good friend of the couple, as well as professor of the class in which they first met.


















Copies of A Modest Proposal and Other Satirical Works by Jonathan Swift were given as favors. Each copy was inscribed with the significance of the book to the couple: it was required reading in the Introduction to Satire class where Nicole and Alex met.


The cake was made by Flour Power.





Congratulations Nicole and Alex! What a beautiful day! And thank you to Leigh Miller for sharing these stunning photos with Snippet & Ink!
