A 1920s-inspired peacocks and zombies wedding

Skye and Cody celebrated their wedding in New Orleans with a 1920s-inspired feel and lots of peacock details.

Some zombie details (including the groom’s cake and the bride’s SHOES!), tearful speeches, and a bubbly exit rounded out an awesome soiree.

A Halloween theme, zombie-themed live band, and a saber arch in one wedding? Hell yes.
