Beards and lap dances: what will you “let” YOUR groom do?

So am I going to “let” him keep his beard for the wedding? Am I going to “let” him wear a kilt? Am I going to “let” him go to Vegas for his bachelor party? Or “let” him go to a strip club?

These are just a few of the questions I’ve been getting about my groom, who supposedly can’t make any choices for himself.

Jenifer & Shawn’s last-minute backyard BBQ wedding

A vintage dress to die for, a heart theme (including awesome headpiece!), fun with piñatas, and the sweetest homemade book about their relationship — you’re in for a backyard wedding with a ton of heart(s). These two moved their wedding date up seven months to coincide with a birthday party and Easter weekend, which left them with only days to finish. But finish they did, and you’ll want to see the result.

Polkadot wedding shoes: spring 2012 edition

It’s only been a few months since my last polkadot wedding shoes post, but people: spring 2012 has been KIND to lovers of the dots.

Below, I’ve got polkadot heels and wedges, flats and booties, Oxfords and sandals.

As is increasingly the case with my shoe posts, things get weirder and weirder toward the bottom. I’mma start with some gentler black and white options, some nice tan dots for those of you who don’t want to blind your guests…but we’re going to close with dot/floral mixes, platforms with polkadots and skulls, and other spotty freakery.

Dina & Travis’ Bruce Campbell-loving ’90s mohawked wedding

Bruce Campbell movie poster centerpieces, a fabulously retro laser photo backdrop, ’90s alternative rock, and the groom’s epic four-inch mohawk (and accompanying MOHAWK WIGS) — these people know how to do ’90s retro right! Add in their Azkaban place cards, Time Warp dance, and dad’s serenade, and I’m hooked. You will be too.
