BIPOC

Based on reader feedback that it was “hard to find any weddings of people of color,” we started tagging posts that featured a BIPOC bride and/or groom — and/or means you’ll find tons of interracial couples in here! Increasing visibility for BIPOC folks has been a priority for us since 2008, and note that we always allow folks to self-identify. More about how and why we do this here.

This stunning Snoqualmie Falls elopement was a long wait from two continents away

Clare and Sirchauncey waited thirteen months to finally find themselves getting married in a gorgeous setting in Snoqualmie, WA. Their Snoqualmie Falls elopement happened only after months and months of planning with Clare living in Australia and Sirchauncey living in the States. They had waited for the Visa to make it official and finally it did. And it was breathtaking.

It was worth the wait and now we get to see it…

Down the rabbit hole at this 1920s vintage-inspired Alice In Wonderland wedding

Our theme followed the White Rabbit down the rabbit hole. It was a whimsical vintage-inspired Alice tea party. We had it set at the Rose Court Garden at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim. The reception captured the quirkiness of the Mad Hatter's tea party. The party ended when some 1920s-themed tap dancers crashed the party and lead our guests into a Charleston dancing competition.

Be inspired by the color palette, awesome fashion choices, and of course, THAT BOUQUET!

A rainy & majestic elopement to Iceland (with a neoprene dress!)

In terms of scenery, I will admit to having a bit of a penchant for these majestic Iceland destination weddings. They’re just SO breathtaking. And Biheng and Mark’s elopement to Iceland all the way from Australia lived up to all of our expectations. it was cool and rainy and totally atmospheric.

Apparently the dress was also made from neoprene?! I guess there’s no finer way to keep looking epic in the rain than that. And boy did they both look spectacular. Combine it all with the mountains and vistas and charm and it’s like a vacation for your eyes. Let’s get to dreamin’…
