Lara & Hunter’s tea party wedding with feathers and hats

Teapots, cucumber sandwiches, and cake on the best man’s face? It’s a tea party wedding turned upside down. Add in fancy hats, a retro venue, and a wild dance party, and you’ve got this sweet little wedding in Washington. And when it comes to this bride’s hat, there was nothing to do but put a bird on it!

Liza & Kyle’s rustic Scandinavian-inspired wedding

Give us a rustic venue and gorgeous flowers any day. But add in some Wiccan and Scandanavian handfasting details, awesome rustic and mustache-y decor, and some Vengaboys(!) and we’re smitten. Take a peek at this wedding for some sweet silliness and good old fashioned fun.

Robin & Maggie’s wedding chapel crashers two-part wedding

These two rascals sneaked into a historical chapel in New Mexico for their legal vows, and then topped it off with a big bash in Colorado with friends and family. It’s a little historical, a little emotional, and downright adorable. Oh, and you might just love one of the bride’s takes on the wedding certificate as full-on AWARD!

Theresa & David’s Sonoma County artists’ farm wedding

We don’t even know where to start with this explosion of awesome, so let’s just gush: metal rocket ships, plastic reindeer, vintage arcade games and a jukebox, wine barrels, vintage furniture, antlers, succulents… all DIYed to blissful, farm-raised local perfection.
This couple and their friends are artists and IT SHOWS. The metal ceremony arch the groom made will knock you out, too. Oh, and wait until you hear the coincidence with the sweetheart table chairs!
