Chelsea and Brandon planned out every little detail of their intimate and celestial wedding in Memphis, from Chelsea’s stunning gown embroidered with stars to the crystals topping the tables. She looked like the sun goddess herself, and the green and yellow of the florals and wedding party’s attire gave the wedding both an earthy and ethereal feel. There were so many unique touches, and Chelsea and Brandon combined alternative with traditional to reflect the merging of their styles and of their love.
