Katie & Kellan’s Firefly and sci-fi geek chic wedding
No Firefly wedding is complete without Jayne Hats and Kaylee parasols, right? Add in some dinosaur references, a “Hitchhiker’s Guide” program, and some Star Wars, and the geek cred is made. They may have clashed with the venue coordinator, but these two know how to make it work.
Asa & Ben’s “rock and roll” pinball cheeseburger family wedding
Let’s just see what might make you excited about this wedding: bacon chocolate cupcakes, heavy metal-meets-roller derby, kids vows AND rings, a Spider-Man pinball machine gift, scavenger hunt programs, a “feather girl,” a cheeseburger save-the-date…? I could go on, but I’m pretty sure you’re already heading in to read this one. And you totally should.
Kristen & Shawn’s theater production Hallo-wedding
This masquerade-y, Pagan, theatrical wedding has so much going for it: DIY projects everywhere (including cocktail hats that I want to steal), a serenade from the groom, awesome community help, and a sweet and funny couple to root for. Plus, you have to love how the bride follows her heart and dons her dream dress color.
A gothically delicious ’til-death-themed wedding
They don’t like the usual wedding traditions, so why would they use them? Bring on the goth fashion, metal music, and the EPIC Jekyll and Hyde-themed bar! With an eyeball bouquet, lots of leather, a couple of gorgeous masks, and some clever DIY, this wedding was turned into a celebration of their personal connection.
Lizzie & Chris’ slope-side snow lovers wedding
A ski instructor meets a snowboarding instructor and it’s love at first powder. What better way to celebrate the marriage of these two snow bunnies than to have the ceremony on the slope itself? Add in some ski-loving details into the cool bar reception and you’ve got a party even the clumsiest of skiers (like me) would love.
Marlene & Pete’s DIY vegan wedding in a factory
Vegan fare (barbecued seitan!), an awesome revamped factory venue, and the cutest vintage-inspired couple — they’ve won me over. Add in tons of dancing, some air guitar champions, and kick-ass karaoke, and you’ve got major fun on hand.
