Real Weddings: Jeff + Lisa

Jeff, a UCLA alum, and Lisa, a Chicago transplant and Vanderbilt alum, created a quintessential southern garden wedding in Nashville at historic Cedarwood.  They chose songs from the Beatles and Van Morrison for ceremony music, and an awesome replica of the UCLA stadium for the groom cake. Lisa created a lot of DIY details, including a vintage quilt photobooth and mad lib program.
