These vintage travel cases are the bouquet alternative of our dreams

These vintage travel cases are the bouquet alternatives of our wanderlust dreams

We featured the sweetest vintage travel-themed wedding featuring flight attendant-inspired bridesmaids, vintage airmail favors filled with candy from around the world, and so many map and globe details we couldn’t even count. Don’t miss the bride’s map shoes! It was a wanderlusting dream. But how could we ignore the FANTASTIC non-floral “bouquets” held by the bridesmaids: vintage travel cases! They made for some of our most favorite wedding party shots ever. Let’s spy the many retro-fabulous vintage travel cases that Marvyl’s bridesmaids carried to pitch-perfect effect.

Gorgeous greenhouse backyard wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

See the most beautiful backyard greenhouse wedding (with self-uniting musical ceremony!)

Emily and Mike had a gorgeous self-uniting ceremony where they performed all their own vows as well as music during the ceremony. With feminist overtones and a backyard greenhouse setting, it was a sight to see. Between the FABULOUS centerpieces, greenhouse-inspired decor, and the ceremony in the round, you do not want to miss this loveliness.

I’m single! Who should I bring as my plus one?

Any opinion on who to bring to a wedding if you are completely single but have been granted a “plus one?” One wedding I am in the wedding party and the other I am just a guest, but both weddings I will only know a handful of people. Any advice on who should I bring as my plus one?

Don’t miss the gorgeous mohawk at this wildflower wedding

Kristen and Tim’s parents’ house was host to their wildflower wedding with artist touches. Mismatched vases full of wildflowers and herbs like sunflowers, lavender, sage, and thyme (including the bride’s bouquet!) adorned the trees, archway, and fences.

The bride is an artist and created the invitations, save-the-dates, AND the amazing coloring book favors which showed scenes of the couples from their favorite fandoms like Game of Thrones, Batman, and all kinds of video games. Definitely don’t miss the dinosaur touch on their cakes and the kick-ass Neverending Story guest book.
