A barefoot travel-themed camp wedding

A barefoot travel-themed summer camp wedding (with breakfast buffet!)

Caitlinn and Luke were married atop a huge rock in a beautiful, sunny clearing. The day proceeded with happy tears and bare feet. They incorporated their love of travel (especially to Africa) in their decor and theme. Instead of giving away something small as favors, they had glass jars with Beta fish in them next to three different charitable organization’s write-ups. The guests could take a pebble and pick which organization they wished receive a donation in their names.

Terri and Vince met and dated when they were younger, and then went their separate ways, only to meet up after several years and fall in love again. This was a second marriage for both Terri and Vince, and they made it a family focused celebration by incorporating their children into all aspects of the day. You’ll definitely want to catch Terri’s killer mohawk and earrings, their flower seed favors, gorgeous ruffle cake, and tearful ceremony.

Emma and Rebecca’s Labyrinth wedding took place in Mesnes Park in Wigan, UK. From the music (Magic Dance!) to the costumes (just wait until you see the goblins and fireys and Bowie makeup) to the amazing worm cake (come inside and meet the missus!), this was an homage to the cult classic the likes of which we have never seen.
