Zoe & Zach’s puppet show park wedding

These two artists collaborated with friends to create an epic “Owl and the Pussycat” puppet show ceremony including rockets, banners, singing, a ring dove, and a look-alike puppet officiant. They followed up the performance with barbecue and polka music. And don’t worry: there’s a video!

Sheila & Jason’s Medieval handfasting under the trees wedding

Being outdoorsy, pagan beliefs, love of all things Medieval… you know what this means. A Medieval handfasting with lots of mead, lots of maypole dancing, and major costume cred. Plus, a white horse somehow made its way to the wedding! It’s like magic.

Jenny & Damon’s quirky steampunk Buddhist wedding

There are a lot of things to love about this wedding like the bride’s silver and blue dress, the groom’s monocle and cane, and the surprising sake ceremony. But frankly, I’m in it for the doughnut cake and glow sticks. There is definitely something for everyone at this creative shindig.

Kyle & Drew’s waterfront brunch and nighttime bar wedding

These guys love to talk, love cooking, and love to get their drank on. So they planned a waterfront brunch with finger-licking foods and a nighttime party at a favorite bar. Their centerpieces bring a little booze into the mix too! These two are my kind of guys.
