Abby & Ash’s ’50s-inspired rock ‘n’ roll wedding

Chuck Berry, a retro-inspired wedding party to die for, and an over-enthusiastic flower girl make this Aussie wedding a 1950s shindig with panache. The birdcage veil, sky-high red heels, awesome ink, and speakeasy style make it all the better.

Elizabeth & Jeff’s vintage whimsical handmade flower wedding

Just looking at all of the handmade flower arrangements at this wedding makes me have sympathy DIY finger pain. But man, does it look awesome. With a vintage dress made for twirling, honey favors, and beaded bouquets, this is one whimsical wedding.

Martha & Jonathan’s Israel and Prague unconventional Jewish wedding

The first wedding was in Prague with tungsten rings, the second in Israel with handcuffs. You heard right! Plus, the bride also handmade both of her black and white dresses. When the rain came down, they had to resort to a plan B, but it all turned out fabulously in the end! Check out this small wedding with big cool factor.

Grace & Kevin’s lakeside beer and barbecue wedding

An outdoor barbecue with lots of beer and lots of dancing sounds pretty awesome. But add in a surprise officiant (the bride’s adorable grandfather!) and you’ve got some real sweetness going on. Plus, the hot Texas weather took a break just for the day. The stars aligned for this lovely spring theme week wedding.
