An orange Seattle wedding with a candy bouquet, tarot reader, and his-and-her wedding sneakers

Lin and Philip’s wedding had one theme: ORANGE. The color dominated everything from their sneakers (yes, they both wore sneakers!) and wardrobe details to the candy-laden dessert table. Those aren’t the only sweet details: Lin carried a bouquet made entirely from Dum Dums and Philip donned a boutonniere to match. Their dog Hannah served as a key player throughout the day, and a tarot reader performed a reading during the ceremony. Speaking of Hannah, wait until you see the super cute hands-and-paws family photo the three of them took during the reception.

Abby & Steve’s heartfelt friend-powered wedding

If you’re in the mood for GIANT crepe paper flower bouquets, a sweet and impromptu first look, and a couple super obviously and deliriously in love, then this wedding is your jam. Oh, and this bride’s experience with a day-of coordinator (who we know well!), is invaluable. And you’ll love the song that they kind-sorta accidentally danced to for their first dance!

Liz & Marc’s traveling fall circus wedding

Let’s see here: we’ve got a circus theme with a dog dressed as a lion, “boot-in-ears,” a bearded lady, a carousel horse guestbook, a midway full of games, a flash mob ceremony, an after-party with a ball pit, and a footie pajama football brunch the next day. If you can even process all that awesome, you’ll need to make even more room in your brain for the first dance surprise. Hint: a marching band was involved!

Stacia & Kevin’s space-y Groundhog Day wedding with a ring bear

Our favorite member of the wedding party, the RING BEAR, returns! This time inside a space-y sci-fi-themed wedding in Seattle that includes sci-fi save-the-dates, Thai catering, and space grab bag favors. These high school sweethearts and their team of “Groundhoggers” totally know how to party (and awesomely get kicked out of the after party!).
