Sophie & Liam’s low-key budget geek chic wedding

These two know the value of a little leg work in getting a deal for a budget wedding. And when you’re trying to keep family, friends, and especially vegetarians fed and happy, it’s no mean feat. But thankfully, they found a restaurant willing to make a deal and crafted a small wedding with emphasis on being together and sharing in the day. It’s just one of those awesome weddings we are loving for simple weddings week.

Jenna & Trevor’s vegan tree-hugging wedding

When your mother’s blue dress looks amazing on you, you wear it come hell or high water. And that’s what Jenna did at her backyard, eco-friendly party. It’s simple weddings week, and this event was nothing if not two days of simply enjoying family, love, and homemade food on a budget.

Megan & Jay’s last-minute change solstice wedding

Sometimes you plan an intimate NOLA elopement, and sometimes life gets in the way. So when life prevented this couple from doing just that, they decided to plan an elegant hometown wedding with friends and family instead. And this beach-side family party with stone warming ceremony is just perfect for our Simple Weddings week.

Jen & David’s laid-back Tennessee barbecue wedding

These two were not getting married — no way, no how. Except then they did, which made the whole shebang offbeat in itself. On top of that, they opted for a casual, outdoor ceremony with some kick-ass barbecue afterwards from the local joint they love. It was simple, small, and perfect for these two, who exemplify our simple weddings week.
