A colorful gothically delicious wedding in Newfoundland

Are you up for an elegant industrial goth fix? Today is your day. Ashley and Paddy ooze delicious and colorful gothic energy in their ’til death do us part-themed wedding in Newfoundland. We got to see how these style mavens put it all together: think bright dreads + mohawk, black Utilikilts, combat boots, and even some little peacock feather accents, all layered on a purple and blue backdrop.

Fill a cake with goodies to make it a piñata cake

A big ball of cake filled with candy?! What the hell else could this be but a PIÑATA CAKE! It’s a cake with more goodies inside of it. Wouldn’t this look fab on a sweets table (and like tons of work went into it)? It doesn’t even seem that hard to make since you bake it before you cut it and fill it up.

Brenda & Julio’s video game wedding

Sonic the Hedgehog blue and Yoshi green are in every facet of this gamer wedding. The drinks — yoshi-tini anyone? — the cufflinks, the escort cards, the card box…. it’s all got a bit of the Sonic the Hedgehog blue and Yoshi green, and a LOT of the AWESOME.

A swanky Brooklyn loft wedding with inked-up brides

Two white gowns + two hot ladies = too much for us to handle. The backdrop to this swank event was an old tobacco factory-turned-loft space, Deity Lounge in Brooklyn. The must-sees: lots of ink, personalized cake pops (get in my mouf), and some truly epic accessory bling. Plus, they had matching ring finger tattoos which were in addition to their rings, not instead.
