Sara & Mark’s improv-tastic, eco-friendly, wine-soaked wedding

Sara & Mark made sure their guests were entertained at their wedding! They did this by taking advantage of the space at their venue: a vineyard in Santa Ynez. They created different areas of entertainment for the guests, like a s’mores fire-pit, a cigar lounge and a photo-booth. They even put on an improv show, which Bill Nye the Science Guy was in!!

These two had a self-uniting wedding at Falling Water

Leah & Jordan had a humanist/quaker inspired wedding at Frank Lloyd Wright’s house: Falling Water. This meant they did not have an officiant presiding over their wedding. Additionally, instead of just the bride wearing white, the entire wedding party wore white.
