Have a movie love affair with this Disney concert hall wedding

Diana and Luke got married in L.A. and wanted to put a little Hollywood magic into their wedding. And trust me, the magic is happening with movie-themed tables, popcorn favors, and ticket stub place cards. It was held in one of those venues that you just can’t even take in all at once (the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall!). The acoustics must be out of control, right? Good thing they had Del Atkins to make full use of it with his jazz band.

Vanessa & Mando’s rose that took 13 years to bloom wedding

Wearing mom’s dress from the ’70s, bearing roses and the look of love, these two celebrated 13 years together by making it official. Add in classic cars, some DIY (program fans and caramel apples!), and a sweet rose theme, and this is an offbeat lite wedding that makes me squee.

A crazy hat-wearing, dance-partying, Zelda-themed wedding

Two party animals, a bajillion hats, a confetti canon, and lots of Zelda. I dares ya to say that doesn’t sound fun. Bill and Jenn know it to be fact, and partied the night away in an excellent concert venue with all of their nearest and dearest sporting hilarious headgear.
