A New York confectionery wedding with smoke bombs, viking horns, & a haunted paintball field

A fairylit wedding in the woods (with flower kitty and folk dancing)

“It was a woodsy, naturalistic fall-themed wedding with twinkling lights all around. The magpie aesthetic showcased the uniqueness of found items, like an old chandelier hanging from a tree, a tiny bicycle covered with ivy, a table made from an old tree stump.

Get ready to be wowed by the beauty of this fairylit wedding in the woods…
