The Planning
Design / Vibe / Vision
In lieu of bouquets for her attendants, Jess chose the girls to carry vintage lanterns, which shone beautifully in the golden hour sun. The vibe was a jovial, family-focused event with family playing a big roll in the wedding - from bridesmaids to groomsmen and also officiant!
