Krystal & Matthew’s red carpet premiere film noir wedding

A red carpet, popcorn and soda, and even a film noir short film created by the couple — this is a cinephile’s dream wedding. Add in the 1940s-era outfits, Moulin Rouge-inspired gown, and delish food truck nosh, and these two totally know how to party film buff-style.

Erin & Bill’s brass knuckle moonshine wedding

This bad-ass couple knows what’s UP: lightning bolt light-up 7.5 inch platform heels, a brass knuckles theme, homemade moonshine, motorcycles, tattoos, and top hats. This backyard wedding with views of the Puget Sound is also home to sweet succulents, skeleton details, and of course… the bride’s amazing dress! And just wait until you see the moment between the ring dog and the ring bearer!

Kat & Earl’s handmade movie geek Disney-inspired wedding

Tradition meets tons of personalization with this Disney and movie-themed wedding. We’re talking illustrations from favorite movies, Disney centerpieces, 3D cut-outs, and lots of elements from their signature styles. It was both a dry wedding and a no-dancing wedding, but with Truth or Dare Jenga, scavenger hunts, a photo booth, and a gelato bar, there was no shortage of super-fun-ness. And just wait until you read the bride’s favorite moment. It’s like you’re there!
