bearded groom

We firmly believe that no groom should have to shave for his wedding. Grooms with beards are awesome! Short, long, bushy, stubbly… BRING ON THE GROOM BEARDS!

Check the Star Wars LEGO details at this Philadelphia nerdy wedding

Transformers references in the ceremony, library escort cards, LEGO mini-figs… it’s like a geek’s paradise up in these parts. But it’s all wrapped up in meaningful rituals, EPIC fashion (check out the hats!), and a reallygood compromise between those who love to dance and those who love to chill. You’ll want to steal these ideas, folks.

Bobbie & Mario’s family-focused accessible wedding

The music in this wedding was totally note-worthy: an acoustic guitar duo playing covers, a gospel choir singing Bob Dylan and Stevie Wonder, a “tropical space funk” genre band! It’s a music-loving, glowing ceremony-having, adorable family-including good time. Oh, and wait until you hear what got this pair laughing at the honky-tonk-themed after party!

Melissa & Scott’s atypical Southern Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em celebration

This Southern bride, her Southern family, and her Southern groom can tell you that we’re not all the cowboy boot-wearing girls depicted on TV and not all of our weddings look like a scene from Steel Magnolias. And in this wedding, it looks like FUN! Board games (including Mystery Date!), a Low Country Boil, a grown-up flower girl, and a pretty sweet processional make this a whole other ball game.

Marta & Dan’s antique country western wedding

Growing up in auctions, flea markets, and antique-dealing fathers definitely left it’s mark on these repurposing and recycling kids. Like they say, “old trumps new every time!” So an old-fashioned, rural retro wedding was totally in order. Just watch out for the awesome unity ceremony… it’s a little dangerous, but definitely exciting.
