Wedding Week Theme

Wedding Week

Here is a colour mood-board of what our wedding party will be wearing! (click it for the whole photo idk why it won't let me recrop it) We're going for a Sunset Wedding vibes for our special day.Now since we have taken quite a lot of colours in the rainbow for the wedding party, please don't think you can't wear any of these colours (however, I totally get if you want to stray away from them too lol) OVERALL, we would like you guys to dress semi-formal for a beach wedding since our wedding day events are all going to be outside.For those who usually would wear a suit, please don't feel obligated to bring one because it is going to be very hot and wouldn't want you to be sweaty and heat-angry :') (However, my mother would say differently because she would like us to look fancy for photos so take that up with her ok.... - Bride)
