Mary & Samm’s eat-your-heart-out haunted hotel wedding

If you loved this couple’s gothically delicious anatomical heart cake, then you’ll be in for a treat with the rest of the story. We’re talking anatomical hearts on the invites, centerpieces, and the groom’s cufflinks, plus a gorgeous, haunted venue in Tampa’s historical Cuban district. And you’ll get to relive the gruesome, horrific (and delicious) noshing of the cake topper heart!

Rachael & Chris’ whimsical tea party wedding

Get your tea cups out, folks, we have an Alice theme going on! A fluffy blue dress, mix-your-own Italian soda bar, lawn games (with croquet, natch!), a goooorgeous garden, and a big ol’ top hat brings it all together. Oh, and there’s some keen advice on leaving your guests to their own devices when mixing up drinks. It can go awry.

Laura & Seth’s Batgirl and Nightwing comic book romance wedding

This pair’s mutual love of Nightwing and Batgirl was the epic backdrop for their superhero-sized wedding. There were lots of guests, lots of amazing superhero-themed gear, and a giant cityscape to burst through at the reception. Let’s hope they can save the world with their superhuman love.

Bethany & Joe’s geeky winter church wedding

It’s Christmas in May around here! This pair doubled down on ornaments and jingle bells in the bouquets and boutonnieres, to super cute effect. Add in the bride’s mini top hat, the bridesmaids’ retro twirly skirts, some geeky necklaces and toasting flutes, and the groom’s self-described “poodle hair,” and you’ve got fancy fun all over this joint.
