Woodland creatures, wings, and magic abound at this faery-themed wedding

Amber and Red had a faery-themed wedding which allowed everyone to dress as woodland creatures or costumes of their choosing. It turned a normal wedding day into something truly magical.

Amber and Red met years ago through friends in San Luis Obispo, CA. Although they have now moved to the Pacific Northwest, San Luis Obispo is still one of their favorite places. They held the wedding there to honor it and share their love of the town. You’ll want to see the colors, glitter, and magic of this amazing wedding in California…

Lauren and Adrian took a $5,000 budget and made wedding magic in their own backyard.

We’re talking really good looking sammies and a spread that makes any table look mild in comparison.

Most of all? We’re head over heels for the Lauren’s simple, chic, and so fabulous black and white dress. You won’t want to miss it (and the whole chic backyard wedding to boot!)…
