Lucy & Dan’s vintage vegan Buddhist wedding

This couple collected vintage plates and tablecloths to adorn a sweet little village hall, did a whole lot of DIY, and created a really cool earthy feel. Add in their Buddhist ceremony, vegan reception, and “Who’s Who” board (with baby photos of everyone!), and it’s a personalized party with panache.

Chuck Berry, a retro-inspired wedding party to die for, and an over-enthusiastic flower girl make this Aussie wedding a 1950s shindig with panache. The birdcage veil, sky-high red heels, awesome ink, and speakeasy style make it all the better.
