These BFFs took their beautiful friendship to the next level with an April wedding that showcased creamy white and blush pink blooms. But nothing was more beautiful than Lesley’s dress, created from combining the bridal gowns of her mother and grandmother. These two besties wove a lot of meaning into their blissful day.
