If neon pink’s your shade and you’ve been hearing the wedding bells, we have your perfectly-clad back. Below, we cover all the most important aspects of a Barbiecore wedding, from honest-to-Barbie castles as wedding venues to what to serve at a Barbie-themed party and wedding.

If you want to stay in the USA, you'll find a surprising number of those right here. You can also go the beach house route to get one that is bright pink.
