Your wedding day is said to be one of the most important days of your life, and also the most stressful. From choosing the cake and picking your down to setting up the seating and arranging the flowers, it’s a day in which all the preparation leads to one moment when love can be celebrated by family and friends alike.
Recently, weddings have been off the hook! So, in honor of Black love, The Root is taking a look at some of the most beautiful Black weddings of recent time.

“Majestic” is the perfect way to describe such a beautiful celebration! Each bridesmaid got to pick their own dress, and between the bride and groom’s matching white attire, this was bound to be a dream! Also, check out the guests’ fans, which were perfect for the warm weather.
