Cats, balloons, and gold glitter at this vintage chic Portland wedding

Balloons and gold glitter at this vintage chic Portland wedding

aren and Joel’s vintage chic Portland wedding was seriously beautiful. Think tons of flora and fauna with cats, polka dots, gold, blue, mint, and peach colors everywhere. Their cat, George, was present in spirit — he was on the invitations, the program, on a custom pocket square for Joel, and in their vows. Yay for fellow cat people! Don’t miss the hand-dyed table linens, gold glitter vases, paper garland, and gold animal place cards.

Let’s bow down to this garden wedding with the crop top wedding dress of our dreams

Amani and Josh, Broadway actress and sound guru respectively, are creative forces who put together one hell of a backyard-style garden wedding. The wedding was held in one of Austin’s most interesting venue spaces, Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, and featured a fab crop top dress, an embroidered groom’s jacket, the jumping of the broom, and so many colorful details in the decor.

A quirky rooftop elopement in Las Vegas (with special guest Chewbacca!)

Lynelle and Matt wanted something different for their rooftop elopement and they absolutely succeeded, as you’ll soon see. Chalk up the awesomeness to the American flag pants, killer gold sequin jacket, the skyline of old Vegas, and a tiny after-party in downtown Las Vegas. Oh, and there’s the whole matter of the Chewbacca officiant in a suit.

It’s weird, it’s ultra fun, it’s a little nerdy (for Star Wars day!), and it’s a whole lot of us falling over ourselves to see it. But there’s no waiting for you… time to see the sweet little rooftop elopement…

This is the magic that happens when Disney coworkers get married

Jessie and Adam are huge Disney fans AND talented artists who both work for Disney. That combination makes for a seriously magical, seriously eye-popping Disney-themed wedding. The handmade Disney Classic-inspired centerpieces alone had us freaking out.

I wished upon a star and received this gorgeous Disney wedding. Won’t you come and see it?
