carnival

We love a good carnival wedding — especially when they skew a little bit vintage or dark cirque. Circus stripes, marquee lights, elephants, and top hats… These weddings truly are the greatest shows on earth.

Step right up for this carnival wedding at a vineyard (with grape stomping!)

Jenny and Victor had a luxe carnival wedding that was seriously dazzling. Think the most detailed and whimsical carnival ever with a wedding as the cherry on top. They described their goal as this: “Whimsical, carefree — an opportunity for adults to feel like kids again, joyous and accepting.”

Don’t miss the adorable first look with Jenny’s dad, the barbershop quartet, cotton candy, so many desserts, popcorn, wine, dancing, and a awesome themed cake.

Just try to take in all the carnival details at this colorful state fair wedding

This carnival meets state fair wedding is so full of color, hilarious details, games, cotton candy, lawn games, photo cut-outs, and a Coney Island-themed handmade(!) dress. Oh, and let’s not forget the groom’s amazing bedecked red suit. This is one of those weddings you just can’t help but grin at as you take it all in.

Up your carnival-theme game: get a cotton candy machine!

So this idea works for carnival weddings, that’s a given. But really? ANY WEDDING can rock a cotton candy machine. Your sweets table, candy bar, and dessert spread is instantly that much awesome-er with the addition of delicious, fluffy, happy-inducing candy floss. I mean, just look at the faces on these kids at Christina and Michael’s carnival wedding (with Elvis officiant!). Those are some blissed-out sugar-fiends.
