It all starts with gawking at the luscious purple wedding gown (from [vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/wedding-dress-fantasy"]Wedding Dress Fantasy[/vendor-heart]!).

This bride’s DIY skills are MAD! She made so many of the outfits including her own black and white striped, purple reception gown (which fit amazingly well into their masquerade-themed reception!).
