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.

Craft beer and games at Sam & Tony’s geeky carnival wedding

This cute pair may have encountered a little friction on their way to planning this kick-ass geek-meets-carnival wedding, but it certainly didn’t put a damper on the fun. Check out the beer, pizza truck catering, symbolic color handfasting, carnival-style details, D20 kissing game, and funny ceremony ring snafu. Oh, and don’t miss the sweet story about the father/daughter/grandfather dance!

Kelly & Jacob’s retro carnival wedding

We’ve seen some amazing carnival weddings, but this one may be in contention for the most epic decor ever. We’re talking popcorn, Cracker Jacks, pinwheels, faux flash tattoos, circus-themed centerpieces, a hot dog stand, a huge and gorgeous candy buffet, and a retro circus cage photo booth! It will make you want to hop on a ferris wheel and get hitched, vintage carnival-style.

Rachel & Jake’s “Water for Elephants” state fair wedding

If you can resist the lure of this bride’s black shimmery mermaid dress, you are stronger than we are. A vision in black, teal, and red, she slays us with her style. Add that to the sexy groom, 1930s circus theme, and pseudo-elopement strategy, and you’ll be ready to marry these two yourself. Plus, if you’re dealing with photo insecurity, this bride knows how to shut it down and embrace your awesomeness!
