The hottest wedding ever: a fire & performance themed wedding

The hottest wedding ever: a fire & performance themed wedding (where the brides burned their dresses!)

The theme of our wedding was performance. We are professional performers and have lots of performing friends. We had many different performances from Burlesque, Fire, Aerial, Dance, Hip-Hop, Belly Dance, Singing, Juggling, and more.

But the wildest part was that we ended the ceremony by lighting our dresses on fire!

A same-sex Labyrinth-inspired wedding shoot that moves the stars for no one

The power of voodoo! This Labyrinth wedding inspiration shoot combines the fantasy of a fairyland wedding with the reality of an English Tudor castle backdrop. Florals with glass globes and touches of ultra-violet, a gingerbread maze wedding cake, a modern take on Sarah’s fantasy ball gown, styling with owl feathers, clocks, and masks, as well as bubbling custom cocktails inspired by the bog of eternal stench.

Turtles! Brunch! Dogs in ties! This rainbow lesbian wedding is all about furever love

Since Caitlin proposed to Kris with the tortoises at the Southwick Zoo, we included the turtles in all our little details including a custom logo designed by Caitlin/paper straws with turtle cutouts (save the sea turtles!), handknit turtle coffee sleeve favors which doubled as a seating chart by Caitlin’s grandmother Marcia, and even more turtle decorations.

Since it was a lesbian wedding, we of course had to include rainbows!

Ricardo and Alex had a swanky and chic wedding at the FatVillage Art District in Fort Lauderdale, FL that blew us away. Ricardo owns a successful dance studio and his students and their parents support the LGBT community. Many attended the wedding and brought with them tons of fun vibes.

There were food trucks, a huge, lit-up cherry blossom tree, a custom backdrop and photo booth, and so many colorful and stylish details that you’ll just have to start scrolling to see them all.
