Audrey & Hal’s flight and adventure-inspired wedding

This week we’re letting our hair down and getting back to nature in the wild, wild outdoors! And this one is all about an mountain-loving, cliff-hiking, wanderlusting couple in northern Idaho. There is much to love: map flowers, tear-jerking vows, and epic scenery. They even had meaningful cupcake flavors!

Jodi & Kim’s glow sticks and bling wedding

This wedding has an official “flower disbursement” and “ring security agents.” Basically, they mean business. On top of that, a dog walked down the aisle, a fish was memorialized, and glow sticks featured prominently in the unity ceremony. I think we’re in for some fun. Oh, and you have to read about the jaw-dropping encounter with their first videographer. It was NUTS.

Lily & Chris’ double happiness rock ‘n’ roll two wedding weekend

But once you see the retro fashion, Asian-inspired details, Chinese dancing lions, and sweet band tribute from the groom, you’ll totally agree that it’s a double happiness moment. OH, and a ceremonial martial arts board breaking by the bride? It happened — twice.
