Up your wedding party seating game: seat them on pillows

Having your wedding party stand around you or sit on seats nearby is totally cool, but if your ceremony is running longer than usual or you just want your crew near you and cozy, check out this idea. Kelsey and Elias handmade some pillows on which their wedding part could cop a squat while they said their vows.

This punk meets horror wedding has the purple-haired dreaminess we can’t live without

Heather and Errol are high school sweethearts who love horror movies and punk, and a little bit of each was injected into the theme of their Canton, Georgia wedding. Heather, a hair stylist, rocked hot purple locks with her vintage dress and DIYed glittery shoes. From the Bride of Frankenstein cake topper to the record guest book and live painting they had done of the ceremony, the details of this punk meets horror movie wedding are killer.

It’s dangerous to go alone: take these geeky “just married” car decals

I was revisiting one of our favorite geeky fantasy weddings, Shanon and Brandon’s Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings wedding, and remembered their fun as hell Lord of the rings “just married” car decal. “Just married” decals can lean a little on the traditional side of things, not unlike tying tin cans to the bumper, but when they’ve gone the way of the geek? The game is changed. In this case, a two-player 8-bit game. Let’s see what decals I could find including Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Legend of Zelda, The Simpsons, and Star Wars.

The handmade masks at this Chicago Halloween wedding are #goals

Sam and Justin’s Chicago Halloween wedding featured handmade costumes, vinyls, a flower girl throwing googly eyes, and a first look in a cemetery. Before the ceremony, they rocked some portraits at Laurie’s Planet of Sound and Ash’s Magic Shop. Our favorite part was the elaborate handmade Halloween masks and subsequent mask makeouts. Halloween couples: it’s time to be inspired, and like the sign says, “Let’s get weird.”
