When a celebrity fashion stylist throws a wedding, you can bet it's going to be visual feast. Such was the case for LA-based stylist Elshane, who worked with Justin Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen for their world tour and has dressed A-listers like Zooey Deschanel and Rebel Wilson and styled countless music videos and commercials.
"I was not a traditional bride at all," says Elshane. "Taylor and I had a Moroccan-themed outdoor house party, with every color under the rainbow, floor pillows, hookahs, henna tattoos, an internationally known DJ, and an electric string quartet. I knew I would never find a wedding gown that suited my style, so I traveled to Hong Kong to buy all of the fabric and trim, drew a design, and had a tailor sew it for me." She also designed her second dress {Obviously there was a "costume" change! } which she wore when she popped out of their wedding cake! She wore a third dress—a hot pink Oscar de la Renta number—to the after party, which raged until 5 a.m. Even the dog got decked out, in a tiny Moroccan tuxedo hand-crafted by the bride. Get a load of this amazingness—and scroll to the end for their wedding video:

I love all the COLORS. And how much fun the bride and groom had! (To see more of Elshane's one-of-a-kind style, follow her on Instagram.)
p.s. Please remember that this is a real couple's wedding photos. You don't have to love all of them—or any of 'em—but you do have to play nice in the comments. Positive vibes, ladies.
