When couples incorporate elements of their cultures into their weddings, as Jessica and Tony have done, it's magical. Showcasing one's heritage and sharing in cultural rites and traditions is a deeply personal way to celebrate a union; as a guest, those kinds of weddings - the personal ones - are often the most memorable.

Mixing Jessica's love of vintage and Tony's Polynesian heritage created a gorgeous wedding day in the beautiful and rustic This is the Place State Park in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The photographers from Wish Photography had this to say about the day:

It was a beautiful day full of so many glorious emotions. Tony has Polynesian heritage and it was so great to see the two cultures mixed together in their own special way. They did a money dance where the guests would come and shower them with money. They had Polynesian entertainment and the guests also showered them with money to give to the bride and groom. I

The decor was beautiful, lots of vintage. Tones of blush, pinks and golds made the wedding perfect for Jessica.
