Mariachi, glitter skulls, and limbo at Erin & Ryan’s Dia de los Muertos wedding

Glitter skulls, a mariachi band (just like the bride’s parents had), a now-traditional limbo competition, and tons of colorful paper flower decor make this Dia de los Muertos wedding a must-see. You won’t want to miss how the bride turned the first look on it’s head. It’s absolutely an idea you’ll want to steal. Wait until you see what the couple did instead of a first dance: think a wedding-wide game of Cards Against Humanity!
