Sarah & Bryan’s nerdy barn bash wedding

High fives all around for this wedding! They started with a mission statement of sorts, and stuck to it with style. From the canned preserves favors to the beverage tickets to the treat-before-you-seat, this couple made their guests feel welcome to their new family.

Rita Marie & Sergio’s intimate celebration of marriage

Small and intimate weddings are often killer in that they let you focus on what and who really matters to you. This sweet and small wedding encapsulates that sentiment perfectly. They had a pre-wedding ring warming in their hometown in Texas and an eight-person ceremony and reception in San Francisco (which allowed the groom’s mom to officiate!).

Kim & Doug’s artsy food truck wedding

One look at this pair’s food truck menu and you’ll be converted to the dark (and delicious) side: a street food wedding! The gourmet sliders and fries were served in front of a chic gallery that played host to the ceremony and reception. They stayed within budget with a few sneaky cost-savers, and you’ll love the bride’s favorite moments with her dad!
