birdcage veil

Short veils are ’40s, ’50s and ’60s vintage-inspired and totally on-trend. Our birdcage veil wedding inspiration is full of wedge veils, blusher veils, and bandeau veils, all held on with skullcaps, fascinators, or combs.

Mary & Samm’s eat-your-heart-out haunted hotel wedding

If you loved this couple’s gothically delicious anatomical heart cake, then you’ll be in for a treat with the rest of the story. We’re talking anatomical hearts on the invites, centerpieces, and the groom’s cufflinks, plus a gorgeous, haunted venue in Tampa’s historical Cuban district. And you’ll get to relive the gruesome, horrific (and delicious) noshing of the cake topper heart!

Mary & Craig’s Dr. Seuss-themed colorful rhyming wedding

They had brains in their head. They had feet in their shoes. They could steer themselves in any direction they choose. They weren’t on their own, and they knew what they know. And they are the guys who’ll decide where to go. A love monkey came by, a shoe had inspired, and guests were surprised by all that transpired.

Keli & James’ video games comedy and butterflies wedding

They met playing Final Fantasy, had tons of gamer-happy music, and an epic Portal cake. I think we’re looking at a gamer’s paradise wedding here. A real live stand-up comedian at the reception made this dance-free wedding have no lack of entertainment. Oh, and you’ll love how the bride was given away by her dad and stepdad! Adorableness: check.

Kimberly & Steve’s ’50s retro rockabilly wedding

A 1950s drive-in, a vintage candy buffet, Pink Ladies and T-Birds, and even a little heavy metal — why, it must be greased lighting! And you do not want to miss the major rumble that happened at the ceremony. Let’s just say that it included “the man, the myth, and the legend” and the “baddest Catholic school teacher ever.”
