Travis and Gia are both the adventurous and creative, so they planned a super DIYed rustic costume wedding with Halloween touches (one final hurrah for this season!) and a totally independent spirit. So there were kick-ass decorations incorporating pumpkins, costumes, rustic wood, hot pepper jelly favors, and a PANCAKE CAKE!

Jurassic Jamboree: a dinosaur wedding with tacos, T-Rex heels, and a golden claw

The bride at this dinosaur wedding wore amazing gold glitter T-Rex heels that made her feel like an ancient force of nature along with her gigantic King Protea bouquet, crown of succulents, and golden claw.

Don’t miss what happened when a piece of art broke at the reception art gallery space!
