Jenny & Damon’s quirky steampunk Buddhist wedding

There are a lot of things to love about this wedding like the bride’s silver and blue dress, the groom’s monocle and cane, and the surprising sake ceremony. But frankly, I’m in it for the doughnut cake and glow sticks. There is definitely something for everyone at this creative shindig.

Kyle & Drew’s waterfront brunch and nighttime bar wedding

These guys love to talk, love cooking, and love to get their drank on. So they planned a waterfront brunch with finger-licking foods and a nighttime party at a favorite bar. Their centerpieces bring a little booze into the mix too! These two are my kind of guys.
