Anna & Joe’s circus carnival and costume ball wedding

From her breathtaking blood-red gown to his dapper top hat and tails, these two are the picture of gorgeous Victorian fashion. I’ll bet you’d be surprised at who their officiant was! Their old-school carnival/circus-themed tent of lights, stripes, juggling, and fire let them entertain their guests and share the spotlight that’s often squarely on the couple getting married — a smooth move. You’re also going to love the late night dip in the pool, the killer shoes, and the heartwarming grandfather as an admiring admiral just bursting with happy mid-hug.

All that, and an amazing red dress — wait til you see what’s under it!
