Pretty Little Liars Star Vanessa Ray Marries Landon Beard, Wears a Crop Top Wedding Dress (PHOTOS)

Pretty Little Liars star Vanessa Ray (whom PLL fans love/loathe as the mysterious CeCe Drake) tied the knot with musician Landon Beard on Sunday in an intimate ceremony filled with crop tops, flower crowns, tacos and teepees. And yes, the photos are every bit fit for your indie wedding Pinterest board.

For the big day, which took place at Condor Nest Ranch in Pala, California, the bride jumped on the crop top bridalwear bandwagon with a spaghetti-strap lace top paired with a high-waisted, pleated skirt by Shareen and Carol Hannah. (TV star Scheana Marie, of Vanderpump Rules fame, also chose a nearly identical wedding look for her recent walk down the aisle.) Ray topped the ensemble off with a rustic floral crown and kept her makeup subtle with a soft smoky eye and pink lip.

Let’s also take a minute to appreciate the groom’s dapper suit — how’s that for something blue?

Guests went snap-happy sharing the official hashtag of the wedding (#therewillbetacos) on Instagram, posting pics of the happy couple and showing off the fluffy-pillow-adorned teepees at the reception. There was a flower crown station by Flower Gypsies, and Sasha Pieterse (a.k.a. the Alison DiLaurentis) even came out to celebrate her co-star.

The newlyweds, who have been dating for six years, got engaged in March in an incredibly sweet way. Ray shared on Instagram (along with a photo of the ginormous ring!) that Beard came to visit her on an average N.Y.C. trip (they’re bi-coastal), and she had no idea it was coming. “I was on Pinterest and it was freezing outside and I had no interest in going outside when he suggested going for a walk,” she shared.

After reluctantly giving in to the leisurely stroll, she realized something was up. “All of a sudden he started getting really mushy and sweet. I could feel his heart beat under his clothes when he pulled out the ring.” Beard even had Ray’s best friend pose as the photographer to catch the whole thing on tape. (Heart = melting.)
