A Dia De Los Muertos Wedding

Photo by

With a little help from their friends, this artsy couple fashioned a DIY Dia de los Muertos wedding. To reflect the spirit of The Day of the Dead celebration, the bride and groom were married by an officiant outfitted like a skeleton, complete with face makeup and antique bolero necklace. From the handmade sugar skulls to the invitations designed by a tattoo artist, the beauty of this wedding was all in the details.
