Two brides, a custom suit, a lavender dress, and DIYed decor, all wrapped up in a shared donut eating at the end make this wedding as sweet as sugar. But their tale of woe turned whoa in their venue selection is a scene-stealer in this wedding in Seattle.

Morgan & Ryan’s travel-themed, vintage suitcases, and VW bus wedding

The first three years of this couple’s seven-year relationship were spent on long flights and lots of late night phone calls. From California to Minnesota, their love is well traveled — as was their wedding. Think travel-themed and vintage (50 vintage suitcases, to be specific!), a ’69 VW bus photo booth, and lots more DIY and retro touches. But it was the bride’s tribute to her groom’s father AND her epiphany about being a plus-sized bride that really stuck with us.
