A Rube Goldberg machine and epic gamefest wedding

This wedding wasn’t about dancing or put-on formality. Instead, it was about good old fashioned FUN and a whole lot of games.

10 bad-ass bespectacled brides (and some grooms in glasses!)

It’s been awhile since we had a collection of brides in spectacles, so I thought it was high time for another look.

Skye and Cody celebrated their wedding in New Orleans with a 1920s-inspired feel and lots of peacock details. There were lots of lovely decor choices including cool branches, peacock bouquets, and hanging lights. Some zombie details (including the groom’s cake and the bride’s SHOES!), tearful speeches, and a bubbly exit rounded out an awesome soiree.
