It’s been awhile since we had a collection of brides in spectacles, so I thought it was high time for another look.

There were lots of lovely decor choices including cool branches, peacock bouquets, and hanging lights. Some zombie details (including the groom’s cake and the bride’s SHOES!), tearful speeches, and a bubbly exit rounded out an awesome soiree.
