Tara & Chuck’s intimate art gallery budget wedding
Two months to plan and catering-phobic? Now there’s a challenge. But this pair came up with a plan and managed to get amazing pasta and NOM-worthy desserts to their guests’ tummies. They also learned a hard lesson that combining flowers and mini-fridge freezers spells flower disaster. But trust me, none of that made this tiny affair any less awesome.
Lane & Jason’s folk village cultures collide wedding
This couple blends Indian cuisine, fairies, bellydancers, Rajasthani and Tunisian dancers, fire-spinning and yes, Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It” on accordion, into a medley of colors and flavors too awesome to be kept indoors. They had to carve a place in Wisconsin’s Driftless Region to hold all of this inspiration.

Their outdoor ceremony may have been rained out, but the indoor alternative amplified the music and they preferred it in the end. Crisis averted.
Zoe & Zach’s puppet show park wedding
