Cullie and Chris recently eloped at the Beverly Hills Courthouse with a celebration that placed a lot of emphasis on YELLOW and we’re talking everything from the groom’s tie to the bride’s roses and carnations! Chris is a collector of graffiti art, and after the ceremony the couple wandered around West Hollywood to take photos against many of the area’s fantastically-colored walls.

A sunny picnic wedding with lawn games and love

[vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/carly-bish-photography"]Carly Bish[/vendor-heart] sent over this stunning, sun-soaked picnic wedding and we ate it up. But when we found out that it was held at her childhood home, we knew it was really special to her. See, Carly’s brother married Kristin. Kristin’s sister, Chaitra (the bride), met and married one of Carly’s brother’s best friends since childhood, Ryan (the groom). So their meeting (and loving) was inevitable. Sweet story aside, let’s get on to the deets: lots of DIY decor, handmade fascinators, picnic blankets as reception tables, lawn games, ribbon wands (perfect for the nearby kitteh)… it’s your own virtual vacation.
