Colorful Glitter Unicorn Wedding: Janet + Jon – Part 1

glitter unicorn wedding

I have such an amazing wedding to share with you lovelies today! In fact, it’s so good we had to break it into two parts! Janet + Jon’s ridiculously rad dieselpunk-cowboy-meets-unicorn-princess wedding, captured by Kelly Braman Photography, was as unique + beautiful as they come! Filled with color, glitter and tons of unforgettable details, every single planning decision this couple made, with the help of Rhiannon of Hey Gorgeous Events, was greatly influenced by their relationship together + the things they love most. Here’s more from the groom about the day:

We crafted our wedding into a celebration of our lives together in both practical and fantastical and imaginative terms. This involved a sincere performance of ourselves as a dieselpunk cowboy and unicorn princess. These identities are true to life and also metaphorical for us and our relationship. As artists, our inspirations originated from those fact and ideas. We also brought together cross-cultural influences from the Taipei/Taiwanese + Kentuckian/American Southern traditions in as many aspects as possible…
