Sara & Rob’s piñatas and flip-flops island wedding

Piñatas filled with scratch-off cards, a little steampunk fashion paired with casual wear, and a gorgeous island setting make this wedding a sight to see. Despite a few mishaps with the bouquet and the budget, this pair celebrated ten years together with a bang.

An opulent multi-day HinJew wedding

When we were sent this San Francisco wedding, I was gobsmacked first by its amazingness and second by its enormity! There is so much to absorb here. It was lovingly dubbed by the party as the “HinJew” wedding since bride Ruchira is Indian and groom Dave is Jewish! You have to see all the facets of the multi-day celebration including the performances, the decor, and the insanely huge hora!
