Shanté and Chris had a really fun school-themed wedding with lots of DIY creations made by the bride! The couple met in middle school and used elements from their school days to inspire the entire day, starting with the invitation.
Rather than using a limo, everyone got into the perfectly on theme, school bus to head over to the reception. It made for some really fun and unique photos.
Every table was designated by a subject, including home economics, art and music.
Guests took home a brown bag lunch favor with goodies from a traditional school lunch along with handmade bookmarks.
Check out their engagement shoot at Love, Chalk and Dancing.
