Mid-century modern interior decor and fashion has been on-trend and we haven’t been able to gobble it up fast enough. Thank the stars we got to see this killer vintage mid-century modern wedding.

You’ll see billy ball centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres, an architectural cake, and the fashion… oh, the fashion! You’ll dig Kaitlin’s cocktail-length dress and sweet birdcage veil (plus bonus reception veil!). By all “Eames,” you must see this retro-fab wedding…

Art meets science at a wonderfully weird wedding

Art meets science at a wonderfully weird New York gallery wedding

Lauren and Kyle are two wonderfully weird creatures from outer space who are super in love with each other (also Earth-bound visual artists and programmers whose art mixes light work, electronics and sound, while exploring human’s interactions). Lauren’s “Conversacube” (a device she created that offers random words to ease strangers into a conversation) were installed on every table at the reception, and Kyle’s magnificent light installation lit the whole room all night.

You won’t have seen anything like this rustic costume wedding with a pancake cake

Travis and Gia are both the adventurous and creative, so they planned a super DIYed rustic costume wedding with Halloween touches (one final hurrah for this season!) and a totally independent spirit. So there were kick-ass decorations incorporating pumpkins, costumes, rustic wood, hot pepper jelly favors, and a PANCAKE CAKE! Plus, I just can’t get over the awesomeness of Gia’s short green dress, tiny lace gloves, and birdcage veil. Oh, and don’t miss Travis’ general hotness in his killer tie.
