Ashley & Oliver’s homemade wedding on the dunes

This wedding explodes with DIY details: a handmade dress and shrug, self-assembled bouquets and centerpieces, jewelry, hairpieces, flask garters, photo booth props, and barefoot sandals(!). The sandals were the perfect shoe solution for a beach ceremony. The handfasting, adorable “ring bear,” and gorgeous setting round out a fabulous wedding day.

Robots and ivy at this pagan handfasting wedding

These two love robots, so they included lots of robot-y references in their Pagan handfasting. Sounds like a perfect combination to me. Add in the custom-made purple silk gown and ivy headband and you’ll get sucked in. Plus, they had a choreographed first dance which looked like a hoot and a half.

Riss & Rick’s black and white New Orleans wedding

As fans of New Orleans and also of smaller weddings, this pair found a destination wedding to be ideal. In Jackson Square, under the shade of the palms, Bloody Mary wielded her Wiccan wonders on the ceremony that included voodoo dolls and burning parchment. After that, it was party time.

Candyce & Lane’s mad hatter garden tea party wedding

“We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.” And this couple knows just how to throw a mad tea party on a budget, complete with key motif, Wonderland readings, and hats galore, natch. Plus they accented everything with peacock feathers… and real peacocks came around to steal them back!

A medieval Pagan handfasting vow renewal

Seeing the love at a young couple’s wedding is one thing, but seeing the same big, soppy, lovey-dovey love after 20 years at a vow renewal just rocks. Kids, dogs, handmade medieval garb, and a wicked maypole brings it all together.

Lara & Mark’s fiery medieval-inspired handfast wedding

A ceremony at dusk with lanterns, candles, and lights. A black gown, fire-red hair, and fabulously rich-looking decor. The groom in leather armour and the bridesmaids in capes. Have I got you yet? Check out this forest wedding for all of this and more.
