BIPOC

Based on reader feedback that it was “hard to find any weddings of people of color,” we started tagging posts that featured a BIPOC bride and/or groom — and/or means you’ll find tons of interracial couples in here!

Lana and James were wed among the venue’s own spectacular decor and afterwards had access to their own private ferris wheel. And I am officially in love with Lana’s short and sparkly, long-sleeved dress!
