If you're obessed with Hamilton: An American Musical and planning a wedding, you might be secretly (or not so secretly) considering incorporating a few Hamilton-themed wedding ideas into your big day. Well, a group of Florida-based wedding vendors with Green Pearl Photography at the helm decided to take things a step further, creating a gorgeous Hamilton-themed wedding styled shoot that recreates the nuptials of Eliza Schuyler and Alexander Hamilton. Like the musical, this shoot effortlessly mixes 18th century history with modern-day style in such a genius and inspiring way. Of course, when we saw these photos we were not about to throw our shot at sharing them (hope you love those Hamilton puns—you're about to read a lot of 'em!).

Check out these stunning Hamilton-themed wedding ideas, and feel free to steal a few for your own big day!

Alexander Hamilton was one of the most prolific writers in American history—the man is non-stop! So of course, the invitations and stationery for this Hamilton-themed wedding was of utmost importance. Starting with the couple's beautiful handwritten vows, the paper suite features a colonial handwritten-style watercolor calligraphy and is adorned with a seal similar to what would have been used in the 18th century.

The couple's simple gold wedding bands are inscribed with their names.

Inspired by the pale blue dress Eliza wears in the musical, our Eliza bride wears the Bijou gown by Hayley Paige, which features a blue tulle skirt and gorgeous lace bodice.

"Angelica...Eliza...and Peggy!"

Eliza was certainly surrounded by her loving Schuyler sisters on her wedding day. The bridesmaids carried bouquets created by Flowers by Lesley, which were inspired by 18th century engravings and artwork. The arrangements featured majestic purples and blues paired with natural greenery and tied with gorgeous satin ribbon.

The wedding favors for this Hamilton-themed wedding included matchboxes with the couple's images on them. The matchboxes were inspired by Eliza's burning of Hamilton's letters later on in their marriage.
