Wedding Inspiration: Bikes

Recently, while shopping for a gown, one of our brides told us that she needed a dress that would allow her to ride a tandem bike after the wedding. While this sounds out of the ordinary, wedding blogs and sites like Pinterest are filled with pictures of couples who have embraced their love of bikes and incorporated them as the theme of their wedding! Whether you are an avid biker or are just a lover of the environment, check out these cute ways other couples have used bikes as a backdrop for their big day.
