Lisa and Arnold met for their first look upstairs at The Estate on Second. A tap on the shoulder turned Arnold around to see his beautiful bride standing before him in an off the shoulder lace wedding dress.

Tables were draped in ivory linen and topped with colorful floral centerpieces. Flickering candles lit each table and sparkling chandeliers completed the romantic ambiance.
