Adrian & Brian’s hippie carnival campout wedding

This wedding brought together the couple’s bohemian/artist/hippie/punk friends for a raucous campout. They may not be the best at RSVPing, but they definitely know how to show up in style. Plus, they were finally able to convince an awesome “Russian/Balkan/marching band meets punk rock dance party” band to play for them!

With touches of 8-bit video game fun, Hello Kitty, Kill Bill, and Disney, this pair wanted to channel their childlike joy for their guests. Add in a Pokeball ring holder, a last-minute cake topper swap, and an epic bouquet toss, and you’ve got a super cute and totally personalized party.

Katy Perry the Wedding Unicorn: she sneezes glitter, pees lemonade, and shoots pink fire

Our wedding featured a life-sized unicorn that sneezed glitter, peed lemonade, and shot pink fire.

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a bride dispensing lemonade from a unicorn’s genitals.

Katie & Kellan’s Firefly and sci-fi geek chic wedding

No Firefly wedding is complete without Jayne Hats and Kaylee parasols, right? Add in some dinosaur references, a “Hitchhiker’s Guide” program, and some Star Wars, and the geek cred is made. They may have clashed with the venue coordinator, but these two know how to make it work.
