This Twin Peaks wedding inspiration had little nods to one of our favorites TV shows (both old and new!) with the themed invitations, cocktail choice (coffee, natch!), ceremony backdrop, outfits, menus, table settings, and cake design. It’s a game to try to spot all of the references and homages to the world of Twin Peaks.
