This floral meets galaxy groom outfit + rainbow gown are taking home the trophy for wedding outfits

Charlotte and Neil had a most fabulous beach wedding on Cameo Island, Zante in Greece. But when you see their colorful, rainbow, mixed-patterned outfits, you’ll be gob-smacked. Charlotte’s rainbow tulle dress is to-die-for, but Neil’s floral meets galaxy print outfit is something out of our 1970s-loving dreams. Don’t miss the sand ceremony (natch!), groomsman hats, dinosaur details including the dino Mad-Libs!

Purple hair and pups: a gorgeous beachside nautical wedding

Avari and Ed had a beautiful beachside nautical wedding in Corolla, North Carolina with their pups, Avari’s purple hair, sunflowers, cowboy boots, and a gorgeous sunset reception. The beaches were only reachable by ATR vehicles and are inhabited by real wild horses. Don’t miss the dune buggy ride and the awesome “do not disturb” signs on the hotel doors!

FALL for this autumn wedding with a Nordic ceremony, axe-throwing, and camping

Jessie and Adam’s fall wedding had lots of traditions and symbolism in the Nordic ceremony. The pair and their wedding party carried logs with rune symbols which were burned ceremonially. Burning incense and herbs were sprinkled around the perimeter ceremony site. Adam even hand-built the GORGEOUS ceremony arch structure which had carved Nordic dragons. The night ended with celebrating, ax-throwing, and camping, and we can’t get enough. Just wait until you see the bride’s surprise colored dress underlay, the pumpkin details, and the sheet music and burlap non-floral bouquet.
