Kisså & Todd’s morning garden party wedding

These two had awesome goals: stress-free day, guests enjoying their “quirky little world,” and be comfortable. They managed all of that while still creating a beautiful outdoor ceremony and cozy party with a bunch of touching moments and lots of blissed-out looks. It’s happy-sappy and I looove it.

Amanda & Daniel’s rainy with a chance of cinnamon rolls wedding

It’s a good thing the mothers convinced these two to get a tent or they’d have been playing in the puddles all night long. But no parades were rained on, and the party was started with a pig roast, a giant cinnamon roll, some personal touches, and a roaming kitteh. You will like this adorable Virginia wedding on a budget.
