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.

Holly & Seth’s high-fiving museum wedding with a broken foot

Interactive invitations, balloon guitars, high-fiving, and dancing all night, despite a bride with a broken foot! But at least you can still shimmy the night away from the waist up. This wedding has a lot of color, a lot of graphic design fun, and one grandma you just can’t keep down.
