This wedding was an homage to the couple’s hometown of Athens, GA, and featured Halloween costumes, lovely blended family traditions, and an amazing tribute to Prince and Purple Rain… literally! Plus, they had a seriously funny wedding hashtag that ties in to the champagne of beers. You’ll want to see it.

A gold dress wedding + karaoke + tacos + fairy lights

Jenny and Dean’s wedding was a dream of fairy lights and over 200 candles. Jenny’s gold dress lit up the room even more, and when paired with Dean’s blue suit, was vaguely reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast! The reception featured guest karaoke with tons of dancing. Don’t miss the coloring book guest book, taco bar at the reception, and loads of sweet cuppin’ cakes.

You already know: it’s the bride’s handmade dip-dyed gown!
