These two are serious history geeks and managed to inspire all of their guests to time travel back to their favorite medieval era. With handmade place card scrolls, a lakeside ceremony, and a little medieval barn nookie, there’s lots to see and loads to love about this sweet wedding in Denmark.

Laura & Mark’s Australian High Country wilderness wedding

We all flipped for the photo of Laura and Mark traversing the Snowy Mountains in their purple and black duds in a recent Monday Montage. This wedding is just lovely from start to finish. And thankfully, despite the flower girl’s worries, there was no dinosaur attack, just a whole lot of horses milling about.

Flora & Kristy’s full moon fairytale wedding by the sea

Nods to Paganism, Celtic readings, and flower fairies make this waterfront wedding truly magical. And at the reception, there was even a father/daughter/father/daughter dance! And prepare your eyes from the awesomely scandalous garter photo!
