A glorious garden, lanterns for the bridesmaids, a brooch bouquet, handmade jewelry, and a ton of sweet moments — don’t miss this explosion of pretty. Oh, and pastel lovers will keel over from the ruffle-y cake, too. There’s also some poignant advice for those who are planning a wedding and also dealing with a disability.

Elizabeth & James’ woodland Victorian fantasy wedding

Just wait until you see this bride’s custom-made blue/grey fantasy-inspired dress. It’s the icing on the cake that is this Pagan meets garden wedding in New Hampshire. But the best parts are definitely in the dancing. Get ready for some “Time Warp” shenanigans and “Fly Me to the Moon” romance.

Nicole & Josh’s pop culture interfaith geek wedding

Comic book shoes, wholesale flowers, and a some geeky movie and TV references… this is our kind of geeky LA party. Add in the cool venue, the donuts, and the Star Wars centerpieces and it’s on like Donkey Kong. Oh, and don’t miss the groom’s hilarious swan dive into his groomsmen!

Chris & Kyle’s accidentally Whovian excellent adventure wedding

Lots of DIY, a butch-identified “bride” in a snazzy suit, and some amazing moments on the dance floor — you must see this Whovian meets Bill and Ted wedding. You may also learn a little something from the six Ps of Theater: proper planning prevents pitifully poor productions.
