A truly special heirloom that inspired her vintage style soiree. Anna also had two more wardrobe changes, totaling three dresses. Amazing right? Eliza Morrill captured every moment (and every...

Weddings, of course, are a celebration of a couple's union. That said, more couples are looking for ways to keep guests entertained to create a memorable evening and in the process, show a bit of their personality.
