ST. LOUIS — We know planning a wedding can be a 'piece of work,' but you may not have to.
That's because Saint Louis Bride is partnering with Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience to give art-lovers the wedding of their dreams through a contest. One lucky couple will have the chance to get married inside the exhibit's Starry Night Pavilion in front of 50 guests.
"Your love is a masterpiece. It swirls and glows like a starry night. It’s as wild and bright as a field of sunflowers. It’s romantic and delicious like dinner at a Parisian cafe," wrote contest organizers.
In regards to the details of the wedding, all of the arrangements are being supplied by St. Louis' top wedding service companies.
