Ansley & Derrick’s love-packed dance party wedding

Spray-painted animal and wine bottle centerpieces, paper flowers and baby’s breath, cupcakes, and everything gold — this wedding makes budget looks gilded. Plus, you’ll be getting sappy looking at this sweet pair make goo-goo eyes at each other in almost every shot… well, except those where they’re busting a move on the dance floor.

Natalie & Tim’s green-filled access-a-wedding

This wedding has all the D’s: an awesome dog, a handmade dress, art gallery-style personalized decor, and a focus on disability. The pair also came up with a very cool way to combine their two families in a musical way. Oh, and just try to contain your FEELS when you hear what the bride’s dad pulled out during his speech.
