Alix & Nick’s WWII era 1940s elopement
Fedoras and cloche hats, seamed pantyhose, and tears of joy — I want all of these in my WWII era-inspired elopements. The good thing is, this wedding had it all plus the cutest couple you ever did see. All I could hear in my head was “here’s looking at you kid” in these photos. Travel back to the 1940s with this elopement!
Excellent eco-friendly invitation inspiration on the DIY tip
Want your wedding invitations to be eco-friendly, but to not skimp on the pretty factor? Hana DIYed her invitations, and not only do they look gorgeous, they’re also uber eco-friendly in so many ways. Eco, DIY, whatever aside, I just ADORE the way she attached the info to the hand-made invite backing.
Sarah & Rhett’s 1930s Art Deco winter wedding
1939 was the backdrop for this romantic wedding with a Quaker ceremony. With tons of flowers, immaculate decor, and a fabulous venue, it is easy to see the love that went into the planning. Plus, the reception had era-appropriate cocktails that seemed to make people ready to party — even the bride’s mom. This era-inspired theme week is rocking my world!
How I figured out what to wear despite my gender ambivalence
I know, I know: be yourself! Wear what you want to! But the last thing I want is a bunch of complicated questions about gender identity from extended family members I only met me the day before. It can be awfully hard to untangle how you want to feel in your clothes from how you want others to react to them.
