We're heart eyes over this fetching wedding in Golden Gate Park

We’re heart eyes over this fetching San Francisco wedding in Golden Gate Park

The morning of Jake and Mandi’s San Francisco wedding, everyone got ready at the Harbor Court Hotel, a waterfront hotel in the Embarcadero area of San Francisco. After their first look, the wedding party hopped on a classic San Francisco trolley to go to their ceremony in Golden Gate Park.

Don’t miss the super sweet baby’s breath flower crown, the paper-meets-real flower bouquet (with family pictures attached!), the family heirloom watch worn by Mandi from Jake’s family, and some subtle Harry Potter detail magic.

This Disney Bounding-inspired wedding makes us ALL live happily ever after

This Disney Bounding-themed wedding had gorgeous Disney-inspired decor like painted pumpkins, colored glass, and trinkets a-plenty. The decor was Disney Bounding-inspired, which means it’s Disney-themed and subtle (to get around Disney’s no-costume rule!). Think Disney cosplay-lite but applied to a wedding. The magic without the actual characters.

I’m going to let you do the searching for all the references at this Disney Bounding-inspired wedding.

Love wins at this stunning beach wedding (despite tons of rain!)

Stefanie and Erica planned a stunning beach wedding in Aptos (a small town just north of Santa Cruz known for its amazing beach and beach houses).

Erin and Jordan took a favorite post-apocalyptic video game, Fallout, and rocked it as a killer wedding theme. This Fallout wedding took place at a hundred-year-old clock tower which served as both the ceremony and reception site. Don’t miss the Fallout-themed decor like a giant Vault Boy, Nuka-Cola posters and art, cap stashes, bottle caps, Rad-X and Buffout centerpieces, and even an “Enjoy Vault Living” guest book poster.

An Ojai mountain ranch international wedding that slays with style

The bride is half Peruvian/Dutch and the groom is Indonesian/Dutch, and they’ve lived on three continents. Despite having only around 50 or so guests at the wedding, it was a multicultural motley crew of people traveling from all over the world to meet up in the sun-kissed Black Walnut Farm in the mountains of Ojai, California. They wanted to combine the food of Europe and South America with the wines of California. You’ll want to seeeee!

This pop culture wedding wins all with a Pac-Man suit, Mario Kart, and a Delorean(!)

When the bride rocks her ink and the groom (and his Funko double!) wears a Pac-Man suit, you know you’re in for a wild and woolly pop culture wedding. You’ll dig the comedy background music, faux tattoo station, YouTube comedy video area complete with popcorn, projected Mario Kart, board games, and Easter eggs for Jurassic Park, Back to the Future (a Delorean!), The Muppets, and all kinds of TV and movies.
