The offbeat bride: Maria, Success Coach

Location & date of wedding: Fitzroy Gardens Melbourne, Australia - April 19th, 2008

The contrasting colours looked awesome! We also had bright orange and gold Chevy Impalas, complete with hydraulics!

Oh and Check out Ivonne’s dress! Holy hell.

Anyway, for more info about how Ivonne saved a fortune on her cakes, keep reading.

This cracked me up — except for the part where the bride growls “I WANT WEDDING FLOWERS.” Fuck that stereotypical shit.
