Joanna & Julian’s book-themed bilingual pub wedding

These two celebrated their love of lit with book centerpieces, comics and books table numbers, portraits from comic artists, and a giant book card box. They even made origami flowers from comic pages. But to spice things up, they had an awesome swing number for their first dance.

DonnaMarie & Ricky’s unholy union and heavy metal cabaret wedding

These metal heads know how to rock. They also know how to make an amazing heavy metal cabaret afterparty on a budget. Board games, ear plugs, lighters, and metal horns were required and provided. Oh, and you’re going to going to freak over the most awesome light-up Ghostbusters cake evar!

Offbeat lite incorporating robots, an iPhone cake, light sabers, and motherboards is exactly what these two are all about — geeky, awesome, and true to themselves. You’ll love all the robot details and beaker centerpieces.

Allison & Christopher’s simple sunflowery garden wedding

This couple opted for a simple, sweet morning ceremony and a casual brunch for a day full of flowers, bubbles, and lots of love. Summer, sunflowers, sun streaming through the trees… I’m bookmarking this wedding for dark winter days.
