Sarah & Davy’s love in the key of honky-tonk wedding

When the groom is a professional honkey-tonker, and you live near an amazing little dive called Max’s Place, it makes all the sense in the world to celebrate that honkey-tonk lifestyle with a cowboy and music-themed bash. The kick-ass outfits on the bands (yep, all of them) alone are worth a look.

Casual carnival madness and an interactive ring warming

Meg and Carrie hosted a casual carnival-themed wedding in Meg’s parent’s backyard in New Hampshire, proving that backyard weddings can be kick-ass for budget and scenery. (Seriously, the greenery is making me long for warmer weather!) Plus, they put a really fun spin on a ring warming ceremony by making it “interactive.” Read on to see how they did it.

A colorful gothically delicious wedding in Newfoundland

Are you up for an elegant industrial goth fix? Today is your day. Ashley and Paddy ooze delicious and colorful gothic energy in their ’til death do us part-themed wedding in Newfoundland. We got to see how these style mavens put it all together: think bright dreads + mohawk, black Utilikilts, combat boots, and even some little peacock feather accents, all layered on a purple and blue backdrop.

Katie & David’s winter wedding in the mountains

Cooped up inside at work? Need some AMAZING scenery to transport you? This wedding is just the ticket. Try seriously majestic mountains in the Southern Alps with photography from helicopters. Add in the bride’s fabulous blue-purple dress against the snow, and you’ll forget you’re even inside.

Wider-calf boots for wedding days (and everydays!)

Ariel is letting me pinch-hit in shoe posts this week since I’ve been knee-deep in boots… and other puns. I’ve been looking at tall boots for wider calves! If you’re looking for kicky wedding boots but your athletic or plus-size calves make it hard to find boots that fit well, I can relate.

Low-heeled wedding boots

I’ve done posts about wedding boots before, but this time I wanted to take a slightly different tack… toward lower-heeled, more comfortable options.

I tried to limit my selections to heels with heights of less than three inches (…I didn’t always succeed), focusing on styles that had a hint of formality while still being as loud and funky as I always like to feature. I’ve got everything here from uber-femme brocaded floral booties all the way to androngynous glittered ankle boots to ass-stomping shit-kickers.
