Our Pagan Pulgas Water Temple wedding

A smidge of Alice in Wonderland, a Regency-style tailcoat, and a bride coming out as Pagan to her family: this is an intriguing combination. But don’t miss the gob-smacking ceremony location and tear-jerking father/daughter dance. Tissues required! And just wait until you see the risque garter shenanigans and missing dress at the reception.

Andrea & Matthew’s simple lakeside wedding weekend

This week we’re letting our hair down and getting back to nature in the wild, wild outdoors! Today’s couple wanted a fun weekend of roller skating, kayaking, and of course, a wedding by the shore. You’ll definitely want to see whose legs had potential to freak everyone out, and who did an epic 60-person high-fiving spree.

A sweet and small fashionable wedding among the sequoias

Eloisa and Dan’s destination wedding surrounded by sequoias makes me want to cuddle up around a fire in my sleeping bag. They’re weren’t completely isolated though, since they were at Seven Circles Retreat in the teeny town of Badger, CA (population: 140!). If getting away from it all (and fashionably so) doesn’t pull you in, these other details just might: jam jar favors, a thumb print motorbike sketch, homemade lemon and mint water, and lots of Philippine and Romanian home-cooked food.

Plus, you’ll learn how to better prepare for those tough vow questions.
