Holly & Seth’s high-fiving museum wedding with a broken foot

Interactive invitations, balloon guitars, high-fiving, and dancing all night, despite a bride with a broken foot! But at least you can still shimmy the night away from the waist up. This wedding has a lot of color, a lot of graphic design fun, and one grandma you just can’t keep down.

Valery & Jon’s buttons and games sweet tooth wedding

These two love sweets, their pug, buttons, Dexter, and each other. Take all these elements, put them in an awesome neon-clad venue, and get the games going. Just try and keep those kiddies from shooting straight for DA CANDEH BAR!

Liz & Joseph’s rainbow flowery garden wedding

The groom’s parents own a garden center, so these two jumped at the chance to have a foliage-filled space to host their wedding. With a ROYGBIV backdrop of rainbow murals and a rainbow-clad wedding party (including a wiener dog in a yellow tux), you just can’t go wrong.

Charis & Jarrell’s serendipitous Anglo-Catholic homemade wedding

These two eco-friendly, tea-loving cuties had a DIY-filled ceremony and reception in a church with a cupcake bar and a live music jam session. Family is really important to them and it totally shows in the details. Plus, Charis’ groom’s two left feet are adorable.
