Allison & Christopher’s simple sunflowery garden wedding

This couple opted for a simple, sweet morning ceremony and a casual brunch for a day full of flowers, bubbles, and lots of love. Summer, sunflowers, sun streaming through the trees… I’m bookmarking this wedding for dark winter days.

Lauren & Johnny’s rockin’ seaside aquarium boda

An authentic taco bar, a garage rock band, and the most awesome hand-illustrated invitation… need I say more? This South-of-the-border-influenced bash boasted lots of fun details and a gorgeous seaside ceremony. And you’ll love the bride’s Burning Man-inspired flaming copper flower bouquet!

A geeky elegant dinosaur museum wedding at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County

When some fossilized friends make their way to the ceremony, you’re in for a Jurassic-sized party. This couple even had to hire a bounty hunter to protect their uber intricate Millennium Falcon cake. That’s right, we’ve got Star Wars, dinosaurs, and the coolest mix of geek and chic this side of an ice age.

Adri & Bobby’s damask riverboat wedding

A little bit vintage, a little bit classy, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll, and a little bit Jerry Springer. Can I get a hallellujah up in here!? Add in some DIY, a sun dance miracle, and a 96-year-old grandpa who kicks ass and takes names.
