Rawad surprised Crystal with a romantic garden proposal and luxury picnic setup on a sunny afternoon at South Coast Botanic Gardens. The proposal was a page out of a fairytale.

He led her to the Upper Meadow Gazebo to propose, a crown jewel of the 87 acre botanical garden.

Following her happy yes, Rawad held Crystal close as they captured their very first portraits as a newly engaged couple.

To complete the fairytale proposal experience, the newly engaged couple sat down to a custom setup curated by the garden’s Bespoke Picnic Program featuring a chic canvas teepee, low wooden dining table, plush floor pillows, and chilled champagne to toast their future.
