Beaches, bunnies, & a first performance at this youth hostel wedding in England

Nicola & Lewis’ laid-back beach wedding quite literally rocked with live music, their pet bunny, hot chocolate and marshmallows, fire pits, and so much more. The setting was the Yorkshire coastline which somehow transported us to what looked like a tropical location but was actually a destination wedding at the Boggle Hole, just south of Whitby in England.

Nicola and Lewis got married on the beach in front of their friends and family, they played a song together in place of a first dance, before heading to their reception at the pirate-themed youth hostel, the Boggle Hole YHA.

Y’all know we LOVE flower crowns, bad-ass metal crowns, and headpieces of all sorts.

This chic spooky wedding had serious style

This chic Halloween wedding had serious style (AND live performances by the groom!)

Jen and Brian had an atmospheric and totally chic Halloween wedding at Turner Hall Ballroom in Milwaukee, WI.

As their ceremony started, so did a smoke machine which gave the space a lovely early morning cemetery feel while the couple stood next to each of their “headstone” columns. There was a gorgeous Nightmare Before Christmas cake, darkly gorgeous centerpieces, black cat shoes, and a to-die-for sweets table.

We’re mad as hatters for this Alice in Wonderland-themed wedding in Greece

Konstantina rocked a colorful polka dot wedding dress, light blue wedding shoes, and a super colorful bouquet that channeled Alice in Wonderland. If that’s not enough to get you all in, I don’t know what will. But we’re going to try! The groom, Giannis, took the reins in planning the Alice in Wonderland-themed wedding down to the ideas, photos, and details. They were going for magical over childish, and totally succeeded.

The centerpieces were hats, characters, and candies in lieu of flowers. There were pastel cupcakes, a topsy-turvy cake, “drink me” bottles, clocks, Cheshire Cats, and a rockin’ time all around at this wedding in Thessaloniki, Greece.
