With the end of the year just around the corner (can you believe it!), we thought it would be fun to round up some of our favorite weddings of 2017. Whether it be the way the couple’s story was captured, the way they infused their personal style into to their decor choices, or a combination of both, these are the weddings we returned to again and again for inspiration this year.
Autumn and Michael’s Race + Religious Wedding that Takes Fun and Stylish to the Next Level
Where it took place: Race + Religious, New Orleans, Louisiana
Why we love it: No inch of Autumn and Michael’s Race + Religious wedding went un-decorated, and the whole celebration was decorated to the nines, at that! Pink never look as good as its use in this vibrant New Orleans wedding, including dip-dyed napkins, feminine florals, and even the bride’s edgy hair.
