Brandy & Josh’s geek chic loft wedding

A wee bit of geek chic, two fabulous venues, and a whole lot of style — this wedding is all kinds of sweet and memorable. Their secular and meaningful ceremony also did a kick-ass job of combining a handfasting and some super sweet vows. You will want to read them! Let’s head in and see the Star Wars LEGOs, the flowing ceremony backdrop, and chic urban loft.

Diana & Shannon’s steampunk zoo sci-fi wedding

This sci-fi and steampunk-loving wedding is so full of DIY projects and amazing sights, you’ll be pretty damn dazzled. Add in the amazing Beatles cover band, their “steampunk bling table,” and of course, the San Diego Zoo setting, and you’re in for animals, costumes, and a good ol’ time.

Jen & Jeff’s intimate beer and bicycles mountain wedding

With a tasty strawberry shortcake beer ceremony, a wine unity box, and a grand mountain backdrop, the ceremony is enough to have us drooling. But add in the locally-themed after party at a bar with bocce courts and delish pies, and we’re full-on sold. You’ll really love how the bride chose her purple polka-dotted dress. Hint: it may have been on her phone!

Amanda & Jason’s classy galactic Star Wars extravaganza

This pair started talking on May 4th (Star Wars Day!), so it only made sense to complete the circle with a wedding on the same day. With Han and Leia cake toppers, a Death Star cake, and of course, the 501st Legion, it was an intergalactic good time. And when you’re looking to up the fun game on your photo booth, have some cardboard cut-outs handy!
