Pink skies and a pink dress at this glowing beach wedding in Maui
Victoria and Jesse couldn’t have planned their colorful details with the colorful skies of Maui any better. Pink skies, a fabulous pink dress, and the glow of the sunset made me swoon.
After the sun set, the gorgeous glass bulbs subtly lit everything so beautifully. This is truly one of those weddings that looks too pretty to be real. But it is! And we get to see it…
Travel through Tatooine, Middle Earth, Westeros & more at this pop culture travel-themed wedding (with April Fools pranks!)
Our geekdom runs deep and we're known to throw themed parties, so settling on a single fandom felt forced for an event of this magnitude. Instead, we decided to put a little bit of everything we love together for a truly unique experience. For a while, though, nothing fit together. Plus, we were annoyed by traditions that felt were “expected.” So, we identified what really mattered: bringing the people we love together and staying true to ourselves.
Then something clicked for our theme: inspired by a wall in our home covered in fictional maps. We chose a Pop Culture Travel theme!
Succulents, wishing trees, & a zither at this modern art gallery wedding
Joanne and Shandra’s brunch wedding at an art gallery was full of sweet and emotional moments, a ring dog, cultural touches, and adorable brunch bites. Their decor was a perfect match for the art gallery wedding, including a wishing tree, their answer to a guestbook where guests could hang handwritten cards with advice and well-wishes.
There were succulents, a zither(!), and a processional song for each lady (“Love Today” by MIKA for Shandra and the Rocky Theme Song for Joanne). Don’t miss the macarons that said “Happy Wedding” on them in three different languages!
Let’s journey to this sweet travel-themed queer wine country wedding
We had a travel theme! We both loved to travel before we met and have loved traveling together. The invitations were train tickets (all aboard!) and the table assignments were a country scavenger hunt of the places we’ve been or want to go together (know your geography)! As an officiant myself, I always encourage couples to decide what traditions work for them. One of the great things about a queer wedding is that you have to do that work. There's no traditional order or distinct bride/groom roles, so we got to figure everything out, from who proposed to whom (first) to who danced with whose parents at the reception. It was amazing.
