Sometimes Less is More, as was the case in Heather and Zach’s big day.
The couple opted for a low-key, budget-conscious elopement, with only their witnesses present as they tied the knot.
Heather’s favorite memory of the evening was how relaxed and stress-free the whole thing felt.
A truly effortless wedding, but not without a bit of glam.
Heather wore her hair in beautiful curled dutch braids and did her own makeup.
She wore the vintage-inspired Fairy Blush pink wrap lace bohemian wedding dress, pared-down with iridescent Dr marten platform boots and a bouquet of dried flowers she made herself.
A one-of-a-kind, modern bohemian bride.
Cheers to this lovely couple!
