Vanessa & Mando’s rose that took 13 years to bloom wedding

Wearing mom’s dress from the ’70s, bearing roses and the look of love, these two celebrated 13 years together by making it official. Add in classic cars, some DIY (program fans and caramel apples!), and a sweet rose theme, and this is an offbeat lite wedding that makes me squee.

Amber & Trey’s nerdy love pop culture wedding

These two couldn’t imagine having a personalized wedding without including what they love: Firefly, Harry Potter, Buffy, and X-Men! Even their newly chosen last name is an homage of a favorite character! And for a couple who is seriously camera-shy, they sure know how to work it!

Stacy & Jeff’s backyard masquerade glam wedding

When life takes away your venue, you take back the party… in your backyard! This couple wanted a kick-ass masquerade ball and they had it… masks, feathers, glam decor and all. The bride also had a network of people who helped them save money and DIY. Crisis averted.

Allycen & Lisa’s intimate road trip wedding

This wedding was held on one of the bride’s late father’s birthday. That alone was a moving tribute. The rest of the wedding lived up to the sentiment with the bride’s 91-year-old grandmother (and her purse!) walking her down the aisle, the tribute to love in the ceremony, and the caterers joining in with the celebrating to complete the guest list.
