Octopodes and whales abound at Catie & Mikhail’s vegan aquarium wedding

This wedding was allergy-friendly, non-alcoholic, wheelchair-accessible, vegan, and fragrance-free, so everyone was able to feel comfortable. And who wouldn’t want to when you’re surrounded by ocean details, giant whales, octopodes, and a super adorable wedding party. Don’t miss how the bride’s father honored her at the reception!

Voyage sur la lune: Mike & Shauna’s moon-theme wedding in the sky

Get this: the guests and wedding party members at this mountain wedding entered the ceremony via SKI LIFT! The views alone are killer, but this would be such a rad way to enter a moon-themed wedding. Don’t miss the Earth cake (complete with layers), moon cake, moon photo booth, David Bowie music, and lots of gorgeous DIY details.

Find out what Robert Downey Jr. has to do with Tiara & Paul’s sweet and nerdy wedding

You’re going to have to see to believe the centerpieces at this serendipitously-timed wedding (hint: think Captain America and Iron Man himself). Add in the bride’s adorable outfit, the sweet memorial to the bride’s grandmother, and RDJ-themed pies. Don’t miss the Jenga guest book and killer ceremony reading, too!

Michelle & Ricardo’s multicultural movie geek theater wedding

A little Star Wars in the cake toppers, a little SuperWhoLock in the DIYed bouquet, and a whole lot of pie, paper flowers, and photo booth shenanigans. This wedding even had a taco bar. But our favorite parts were the movie posters redone with the bride and groom. So epic.
