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!

Don’t miss the tutu-wearing ring dog at this colorful, retro wedding

Peggy and Shawn had a colorful, retro wedding in Kansas City, MO with so many stunning details I didn’t know where to begin. But hey, let’s start with that amazing, minty blue dress! Oh, and their dog Pearl was the ring bearer, the reception had karaoke, dinosaurs, and records, and a family-centric cake topped with a VW!

You’ll be scouring the photos for more of their nerdy and awesome details so get to browsing…

Wait until you see the vintage kitsch at this quirky artist wedding

Sarah and Adam are two talented artists who decided to get married in the quirky compound of Hicksville Pines in Idyllwild, CA. Guests were each given each a ceramic mug that Sarah made, and her wedding altar was something borrowed from a friend that had used it before. Just wait until you see all the retro centerpieces, awesome kitsch details, and granny chic (one of my fave styles!)…

April and Kyle’s wedding was the first ever ceremony and reception to take place at the Music Box Village. The Music Box Village space is an open-aired arrangement of unique pieces of musical architecture — shacks and structures designed to make a variety of sounds — accompanied by the performers’ instruments and women dancers from Dancing Grounds and is completely outdoors.

Beards, bratwursts, beer: a NYC biergarten wedding

Laura and Doug’s NYC biergarten wedding had beards, bratwurst, and beer — a triple threat of awesomeness. The groom and his crew all sported beards (which should thrill a few of you pogonophiles!).

Don’t miss the slider station, mini Patron bottles, and huge pretzels!

A fantastical villainous Candyland sideshow music fest wedding

My husband and I live in and run a House Of Oddities Museum in Pittsburgh called Trundle Manor. We’re used to being surrounded by vintage taxidermy, dead things floating in jars, coffins, and our own art, so the wedding had to be grand enough and weird enough to suit us.

Our wedding cake was a zombified Marie Antoinette head festooned with feathers and candy! It sat alongside our faux wedding cake topped with the taxidermied squirrels we made on our first date in the basement.

Motorcycles, leather, & romance at this rock 'n' roll Savannah wedding

Motorcycles, leather, & romance at this rock ‘n’ roll Savannah wedding

Deanna and Larry got married in front of Forsyth Fountain in Savannah, GA. It was a rock ‘n’ roll Savannah wedding to remember. When you see Larry’s entrance, you’re going to lose it. Instead of walking down the aisle… he rode down it in a motorcycle! He then surprised Deanna with custom leather vests to rock while they rode off into the sunset together after the ceremony.

Don’t miss Deanna’s fab bouquet of large peonies, anemones, and lush greenery and of course, their killer groom’s cake!
