Alyssa & Joel’s private Napa vineyard elopement
This week we’re celebrating intimate weddings with destination elopements, cozy city hall vows, and private romantic ceremonies. It’s the warm fuzzies on a smaller scale. This one is full of gorgeous photos of vineyard foliage and sunlight, not to mention the bride’s lovely blue dress. Grab a glass of vino and find out why the reverend gave the groom a slap!
Natalie & Iliana’s laid-back bounce house wedding
With s’mores, hula hoops, a bounce house (carefully hidden from kiddie’s eyes until after the ceremony), and a photo booth, there was something for all the kids and the young and heart to enjoy. They also had access to authentic homemade Latin food (made by one of the brides’ families!) and an amazing venue, all somehow on a low budget!
Dawn & Benjamin’s off-the-grid forest handfasting
This pair both studied sustainability at a gorgeous venue on Cortes Island, BC, so it only made sense to bring their loved ones there to celebrate their marriage. And those same guests pulled together to provide tons of help in preparing for this camp-out wedding in the forest. But the best part of all is the bride’s HAND-PAINTED dress! You have to see it.
Michelle & Dan’s scooters and papel picado wedding
This wedding is an explosion of turquoise and red, along with touches of what they love: Mexican folkloric art, scooters, and their Boston Terrier! This bride may not have been a fan of weddings initially, but it looks like she and her groom embraced personalization and ended up loving it. And seriously, their dog in a handmade dress is too adorable to miss.
