An homage to Athens wedding & a Halloween-in-June dance party

This wedding was an homage to the couple’s hometown of Athens, GA, and featured Halloween costumes, lovely blended family traditions, and an amazing tribute to Prince and Purple Rain… literally! Plus, they had a seriously funny wedding hashtag that ties in to the champagne of beers. You’ll want to see it. Also, don’t miss why the bride totally thinks we should all forget to exchange rings at the ceremony!

It’s all fun and games until an epic cueca starts (learn what it is!)

“The couple that plays together stays together” was the motto of Drea and Steve’s wedding. This was evident from start: the wedding invitation that was delivered in a cornhole bag! Drea is Chilean and took the first dance seriously. They performed a cueca, a traditional choreographed dance from Chile that mimics a couple’s courting with handkerchiefs.

You’ll love these Bulgarian wedding influences and a yellow dress that slays

Anna and Kliment planned an amazing wedding with Bulgarian wedding influences (including a traditional outfit on the groom!). They rocked a few awesome elements: a special role for the oldest member of the guest list, a first kiss selfie, a bread and honey ceremony, props from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, R2-D2, and a moon backdrop. They also had the Bulgarian tradition of predicting the future sex of their first born by kicking a can of water with a white and red carnation to see which color flew farther. Don’t miss Anna’s amazing yellow reception dress.
