Wedding pirates: making peace when a friend steals your wedding ideas
Wedding planning is hard, you guys. This we know. You’re inundated with ideas, traditions, must-haves, how-tos, and a general sense of “whatthefuckdidigetinto.” So you start to panic. You search Pinterest or Offbeat Bride or wherever to figure out how to plan this hugh jass party you’ve never planned before. But wait, you know something. You’ve been to weddings. You’ve been to friends’ weddings. And that’s where kernals of ideas start to happen. Is it a slippery slope to “stealing” ideas from friends? Yep. And if you’re the friend with the ideas, you may not like it. Not when you’ve carefully crafted your aesthetic and DIY projects and authentic-to-you ideas. Here’s how to deal when you feel that a friend has stolen your wedding ideas…
Feather scarves that will give you the most EPIC photo ops
Becky rocked a feather scarf at her Iceland wedding that slayed us. Then we found Shovava’s feather scarves and animal print shawls and knew it was meant to be. We had to show these to you RIGHT NAO!

The (literal) cheesiest unity ceremony ever: a unity pizza-cutting ceremony
Don’t think it wasn’t super hard to not make a “cutting the cheese” reference while I was writing this. You’re welcome. Unless you’re into fart jokes, then I’m sorry. Moving on. We celebrated Minerva and Max’s flamingo-clad vow renewal a while back and couldn’t wait to circle around again to remind you about one of our fave parts: the unity pizza-cutting ceremony! What’s better than taking the food you love and the person you and combining it all into a unity ceremony? Nuthin’.
A stunning Jamaican wedding shoot with a ganja rolling station
Chris and Joan rocked a stunning destination Jamaican wedding at Borghinvilla with a fabulous gown, soaring views, huge floral centerpieces, and a lantern send-off. The recent decriminalization of marijuana in Jamaica allowed them a touch of weed in the bouquet, boutonniere, potted plants, cake, pipes, and even a ganja rolling station.
The Rose Armor Gown is here to make you look fierce as hell fighting dragons at your wedding
Rose-colored warrior princess wedding gown, anyone? This epic fantasy gown is another stunning design from Firefly Path, who you may remember from these posts. We’ve decided that this is the gown in which we’ll go on many dragon-slaying adventures (maybe into matrimony, too?). Tell us you’ll be wearing this dress yourself and we’ll worship at your rose-colored altar of armored bliss…
