When a hand-airbrushed wedding dress at a colorful forest wedding slayed us forever…

When a bride customizes her dress like this, we’ve got to bow down and give it props. Artist Taylor and her partner Christopher rocked a most colorful forest wedding in California for which we fell hard. Taylor made all of the bouquets and boutonnieres, centerpieces, and of course, airbrushed her own flippin’ wedding dress!

But the rest of it is just as creative and lovely. Her multi-hued hair in intricate braids, the rainbow flowers, the huge colored Jenga, her kick-ass wedding boots, and the cascading rainbow flower cake. It’s all making our day and dazzling our eyes. You just have to see it for yourself…
