Valerie and Noam’s eco-friendly traditional Jewish wedding
Valerie and Noam wanted a traditional Jewish wedding that stayed true to their egalitarian, progressive, feminist, and planet-friendly values. With home-grown jade centerpieces, a blue wedding dress, a groom in an Indian sherwani, and a kosher, vegetarian meal, they created a wedding that reflected who they are and what they care about.
Becki & Jeremy’s Wild West Frontier Wedding
Becki & Jeremy run a wilderness summer camp together. Their wedding reflected this aspect of their lives. They had a fun-filled weekend with lots of outdoor activities: a hike, a 5k run, a bonfire, fishing and their wedding ceremony!
Ann & Sean’s comic book dork, Halloween wedding of awesomeness
See what happens when two comic book dorks fall in love and get married. I’ll give you hint — utter amazingness.
Jessi & Dave’s sincere celebration of fellowship and love & potluck wedding
We’re pretty unconventional, so we did it “us.” My bouquet came from the farmer’s market, my mom picked the flowers for the tables at the side of the highway, our centerpieces were board games, my husband wore hemp pants and a simple shirt; we didn’t have attendants, a cake, toasts, bouquet toss, etc.
And the groom wore a pink flower
…And a beard, and fabulous frames, and a beatific smile: We’ll be seeing much more of Dave and his dreads and his fabulous pink flower and GORGEOUS bride next week…
