7 quirky wedding ideas (like a Winston Churchill theme) I didn't get to use, but YOU can

7 quirky wedding ideas (like a Winston Churchill theme) I didn’t get to use, but YOU can

The week before my wedding, I had a bit of a freak out (familiar to anyone else?). I realized that my wedding seemed really… serious. And I was not comfortable being serious about an important life moment while a bunch of people were staring at me.

In order to feel more comfortable during my own wedding, I came up with a variety of coping mechanisms. Due to poor planning (and some resistance from relatives), I just barely missed executing many of these ideas. Here they are, my gift to you…

Postcard escort cards will give your guests travel wanderlust

Postcard escort cards will give your guests wanderlust AND show them to their tables

Courtney and Kelly had one of those travel-themed weddings that gives us chills and the urge to buy plane tickets. Their postcard escort cards were an even bigger invitation to get out of Dodge and start traveling. At least to their table at the reception, at least.

Barefoot Hobbit-themed wedding

The Arkenstone of weddings: a barefoot Hobbit-themed wedding

When it comes to Lord of the Rings weddings, this barefoot Hobbit-themed wedding wins all the Arkenstones. Lanterns, elven bridesmaids, a crown headpiece, hobbit groomsmen (and groom!), and even a dwarf! Gandalf the Grey presided over the ceremony and they ate Hobbit hole cake. There’s so much Tolkien goodness to see, on top of the already amazing silver dress, purple hair, and epic costumes. This pair won’t be throwing their rings into Mount Doom anytime soon.

And now for something completely different: a Monty Python save-the-date!

And now for something completely different: a Monty Python save-the-date!

Amsterdam couple Janaina and Coen had always admired vintage-style invitations (as do we!). They tapped into the talented Tara Flanagan to create a most fantastic save-the-date that channeled vintage illustration and Monty Python. It’s unusual, whimsical, and we can’t stop looking at the details. We’ll get more from their wedding later on, but we couldn’t wait to share this Monty Python save-the-date and all its vintage-style details right now.
