These papier-mâché animal bouquets will make you weep with beastly joy

Narwhals, unicorns, lemurs, elephants, and woozles, oh my! These papier-mâché animal bouquets were made by artist and bride Mercedes from an upcoming wedding for which you’re going to go wild. Mercedes and her groom Justin had an “Embrace your inner creature” theme which spawned a whole lot of bestial, natural, and super gorgeous DIY decor. That includes these kick-ass animal bouquets of real and imaginary creatures.

Camels and zebras and children — oh my! There’s no better recipe for Southern fun than animals, kids, and balloons. Oh, and tons of pies WITH handmade recipe book favors.

A beach-and-boat-house Cape Cod wedding with a canine ring bearer

Amanda and Ilana were wed in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and the pair’s “wicked good” wedding day included roses, a furry ring bearer in the form of the couple’s dog, and a charming hand-painted wooden directions sign. The two traveled by golf cart from their intimate beachside ceremony to the paper lantern and twinkle light covered boat house reception spot, where they were greeted by guests and a tower of chocolate desserts. Remember how Megan thought this photographer’s work looked almost unreal? Wait until you see the final shot of the night — it’s a cinematic explosion of lens flare love!
