Sword fights & purple kilts at this dance party wedding with an Oreo toast
Our wedding was held at a gorgeous hall that is owned by a Franciscan monastery, which has little details that make it look like a medieval church (in the middle of Washington D.C.!). My husband collects swords, so our cocktail hour featured friends from the HEMA Alliance (the society for Historical European Martial Arts) performing a demonstration of sword fighting through the ages.
Spot all of the nerdy touches and adorable dogs at this wedding in the Redwoods
We were going for if Wes Andersen threw an early ’00s high school dance in the forest. We wanted lots of nerdy pop culture touches, but nothing too heavy-handed. We were in the same nerdy friend group in high school and actually dated for two weeks before going out separate ways. I was married to someone else for a decade but when that ended we reconnected. We have all the same friends and even the same godkids, so our wedding was like a giant reunion.
Get serene vibes with these pared down, nature themed wedding details
While y’all know we love big, colorful, and wild wedding themes, we also totally love simple, pared down, and more romantic themes just as much. So with warmer weather looming and outdoor weddings taking center stage for spring and summer, I wanted to explore what nature themed wedding details and boho wedding details I could find that fit a more natural and organic aesthetic. Think lace, linen, floral embroidery, woods, kraft paper, eucalyptus, and colors pulled from nature.

When it comes to summer weddings, the name of the game is usually keeping guests cool. Offering water bottles, fans, and shade is essential. But it can be super fun, too! We’re talking colorful fans that make killer photo ops, in-season berry boutonnieres, lemon robes, yard games, string lights, mojito pops, and bare feet. It’s almost summer here, y’all and we’re READY.
