The LOVELY ladies.
I especially LOVE how each bridesmaid has a different dress and the unity is achieved by having one color. How perfect! This way, they can truly wear it again.

It was an especially emotional moment when Lanita was able to see herself in all her wedding finery for the first time.
Lanita had this seriously AWESOME sheer bolero jacket made to go over her dress. I love how it buttons in the back. Soooo cute!!!! This dress was absolutely PERFECT for her.

I LOVE Lanita's reaction. This was totally spontaneous. They were pronounced husband and wife and she says, "YEEEESSSSS" with a fist pump.
HOW CUTE IS THAT!?!?!?!

Here's another unique thing about their wedding.
They incorporated the tradition of "Jumping the Broom".

The florals were created by the awesome Lisa of Belli Fiori.
