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.
