You’ll love these Bulgarian wedding influences and a yellow dress that slays

Anna and Kliment planned an amazing wedding with Bulgarian wedding influences (including a traditional outfit on the groom!). They rocked a few awesome elements: a special role for the oldest member of the guest list, a first kiss selfie, a bread and honey ceremony, props from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, R2-D2, and a moon backdrop. They also had the Bulgarian tradition of predicting the future sex of their first born by kicking a can of water with a white and red carnation to see which color flew farther. Don’t miss Anna’s amazing yellow reception dress.

Washington couples might find lots of familiar places to love at this Tacoma tattooed wedding. Greer and Mike met at House of Tattoo in Tacoma — he the artist and she the new shop assistant. They were wed at the Wright Park Conservatory and rocked the rest of the night just down the street at The Hub. There were vegan goodies (including a vegan cake!), rainbow hair, gorgeous foliage, and and of course, lots of great ink.
