Midsommar may be a horror movie, but the aesthetic is anything but scary, which is why Shar and Scotty were so heavily inspired by it for their not-at-all Halloweeny summer wedding. When Covid hit, it made them realise what they really wanted (and didn't want) for their day so they had their reception of cake and informal, unplanned speeches at the bride's mum's house and spent less than £2,000 to boot!Read more...
