Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce managed to keep many details about their top secret wedding under wraps until the day itself - but now fans are getting a glimpse of the big day.
On Monday July 6, the couple's wedding invite was posted online by Ashish Ferguson, who is the brother of Travis' childhood friend and former personal chef, Kumar Ferguson.
The now-deleted picture - posted on Instagram Stories - featured a water color painting backdrop of a forest and stream, as well as an orange sky. The whimsical picture matched the color theme inside the venue at Madison Square Garden - which was transformed into a garden, complete with orange armchairs and green tables.
