Shana & Leon’s bluegrass wedding in the woods
This pair loves hiking, trees, awesome local beer, and good barbecue. What better ingredients are there for a campground wedding under the trees? Oh, maybe the addition of a kick-ass bluegrass band that kept everyone dancing well into the night. With some ceremony accompaniment, an adorable uncle reading poetry, and dogs and kids galore, this was a wedding with a lot of heart.
Alyssa & John’s homemade Oktoberfest barbecue in Amish Pennsylvania
Apples and pigs and pickles, oh my! This Oktoberfest barbecue wedding is full of food, but the nods to personal passions steal the show. What happens when two chefs love Eagles football, Rocky, apples, pie, and each other? A very Pennsylvania wedding, rain and/or shine.
A skull-filled Halloween wedding with on-site ring tattoos
Michelle and Shaun planned a Dia de los Muertos-meets-Halloween-meets heavy metal wedding with barbecue, kegs of beer, papier-mâché masks, and skull details. And get this, they got ring tattoos… AT THE WEDDING!
Rachelle & Eric’s rainy improv-tastic casual cookout wedding
This couple may have gotten rained out of their original location, but an obliging firehouse ended up being an awesome substitute. As far as reception entertainment goes, this wedding wins all around: stand-up comedy, live improv, piñata bashing, and musical chairs! Plus, the story about the bride’s grandmother making her cake had me fighting the tears. Enjoy your Fourth of July with this Fourth of July cookout wedding!
Spring & Alex’s colorful lawn games and giant pillows wedding
One look at the pink crinoline, the multicolored roses, and “cakeluck” display, and you’ll be begging for more. Picture a beautiful daytime wedding in the park complete with lawn games, giant pillows to lounge on, and a ceremony that started with “Can I get a ‘hell yeah’?”
Emily & Bill’s rainy and cozy camp chapel wedding
A very cool Texas guest book, a Bender card box, towers full of homemade cupcakes (and zombie cupcakes!) , and all the ladies wearing cowboy boots: it’s a feast for the eyes! Plus, they shared not only a first dance, but THE very first dance ever together. And if all that isn’t enough, there’s a cute pooch wearing a bow tie. You’re hooked now.
