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.

A custom white wedding suit and tutu-inspired reception dress at this glam meets rustic wedding

Elizabeth and Colleen’s glam meets rustic wedding at the Holliston Historical Society in Massachusetts was a testament to amazing DIY projects and the super chic dress + white suit combination. Elizabeth created all the decor from scratch, all the way from the centerpieces to custom designing Colleen’s suit. She made the table numbers from a broken fence in her backyard and hand-picked the flowers for the bouquets. Don’t miss the black detailing on the back of the wedding party’s dresses and the short tulle reception dress, too!
