Janet & Joe’s colorful tie-dye and dancing wedding

These two are children of the sixties, and what better way to celebrate the decade and their love of color than by having a TIE-DYE WEDDING? It’s like a rainbow exploded and left everyone super happy and covered in color. They tossed tie-dyed bears, had a choreographed dance to their song (well, almost!), and tons of tie-dyed decor. Put on your shades for this one — it’s wild!

Margie & Steven’s sparkly rainbow musical wedding

You may just explode with rainbows after seeing this colorful wedding with a surprise rainbow cake, handmade dress with rainbow tulle, and a science museum reception. The hand-composed song and original poem during the ceremony may have you crying rainbows, too. Oh, and just wait until you see how the bridesmaids calmed the bride down during a stressful moment.

Julie & Trevor’s mountain handfasting with drums

This week we’re celebrating woodsy, outdoor weddings before it gets too cold. Today we’ve got a blend of offbeat and traditional in a mountain setting. Think wildflowers, a ring warming, and a whole drum corps of “groomsdrummers” ready to lead you into a meadow surrounded by forest.

Megan & Federico’s fandom-loving fantastically fall wedding

It’s our favorite week for spooky, gothic, and horror-themed weddings — it’s HALLOWEEN WEEK! Today we’re gawking at a seriously lovely outdoor winery wedding featuring mini pumpkin place cards, a zombie-killing sword ceremony, a full moon, and some amazingly carved pumpkin centerpieces. You’ll never believe how the bride found their creator.
