Even the bridesmaids fit perfectly into theme with their color coordinated mismatched dresses, tassel earrings, and raffia fans. Every aspect of the wedding was true to the couple and not tradition, including their ceremony in the round seating arrangement in the middle of our patio. This wedding is defini ..read more
