A modern Tuscan black tie wedding with plenty of DIY and style
The theme to our wedding was modern, Tuscan black tie. We had champagne taste on a beer and butter budget. We splurged on the picture perfect venue and catering, but everything else you see was DIY. I hand crafted everything from flowers to centerpieces and signs to decor. They say every wedding has at least one planning nightmare. Mine happened to be the biggest nightmare for me ever. The store I purchased my dress from went BANKRUPT and closed its doors just eight weeks before my wedding!
This aquarium wedding was perfect for a mermaid-haired bride named after a mermaid
My mother named me Madison after the mermaid in the movie Splash, so it only seemed fitting that the wedding take place in an aquarium. We took our first look photos in the "wetlands" area of the Florida Aquarium, and the ceremony was in front of the Coral Reef Gallery.
My favorite part of the venue were the sharks that appeared in our photos. The soft blue lighting throughout the aquarium was beautiful, and the venue was really fun.
Just wait until you see this sweet backyard food truck wedding
The ceremony at this sweet backyard wedding was held under a large oak tree on the property and a tent created their reception space for dinner, dancing, and partying the night away. Think lLawn games, a fire pit, and lots of dancing. But the best part may have been the food truck catering with delish burgers and fries! Just wait until you see the green smoke bomb shots…
Throwback style and sweet moments all over this vintage eclectic wedding
Amy and Camilla took their vintage style and ran with it by incorporating it in their killer outfits and placecards (vintage photos!). Their friend officiated in drag(!), they got shoe tattoos instead of exchanging rings, and also gave out temporary tattoos as favors. The venue was ideal for them with its eclectic style of antique frames, glassware, furniture, and the glow of tons of twinkle lights.
Don’t miss their pink and mint dresses (the pink dress was made by Amy’s mom!), their fabulous retro hairstyles, and fun trivia game…
