Sarah and Thomas' wedding was a day full of love and beautiful details. These two were so in love and their personalities were shining while being surrounded by all their friends and families. There were so many details that stood out to us. 

First of all, the best man played a prank on the groom during the first look. He dressed up (veil and everything) and tapped the groom only to see him bawling his eyes out thinking that it was his future wife! The groom was such a good sport, but he was over it and wanted to see Sarah. Lol! 

Besides that, we loved every single thing about the reception ESPECIALLY all the table details. They had beautiful centerpieces with geometric accents. And instead of numbering their tables, each table was named after places the couple has traveled to. Oh, and we can't forget the succulent on the cake! Their cake was stunning, unique and tasted amazing!!
