I am a 2023 October bride. I love all thing mystical and magical. My ideal wedding is at dusk, getting married under a willow tree along side a pond by lantern light, and then running off into the night with my future husband waiting to announce our marriage at the next gathering. However my fiancé wants a more traditional wedding so here I am planning one.

Happily married 🎉

I’m in an ivory blush dress. My fiancé picked a green suit for himself. My girls are in grape. The flowers are mainly orange. What do I put the groomsmen in?!?!
