Helen Isabella & Jonathan’s Victorian high tea wedding

There wasn’t really a theme, just a major mash-up of what they love: steampunk, Victorian fashion, Alice in Wonderland, and high tea! They also found a venue that allowed them to bring in a jukebox, homemade beer, and a fish and chip cart! And you will go nuts over the bride’s custom-made purple gown.

Ashley & Oliver’s homemade wedding on the dunes

This wedding explodes with DIY details: a handmade dress and shrug, self-assembled bouquets and centerpieces, jewelry, hairpieces, flask garters, photo booth props, and barefoot sandals(!). The sandals were the perfect shoe solution for a beach ceremony. The handfasting, adorable “ring bear,” and gorgeous setting round out a fabulous wedding day.

Grace & Kevin’s lakeside beer and barbecue wedding

An outdoor barbecue with lots of beer and lots of dancing sounds pretty awesome. But add in a surprise officiant (the bride’s adorable grandfather!) and you’ve got some real sweetness going on. Plus, the hot Texas weather took a break just for the day. The stars aligned for this lovely spring theme week wedding.
