Mind blown: This couple crowdsourced from their guests at the wedding via smartphone
Since the presence of their guests at their wedding was really the reason to have a wedding for them, Mary and Andy wanted them to be a real part of the ceremony, not just witnesses. So they asked guests to pull out their smartphones and submit a short blessing or wish to the couple. They created a word cloud you have to see…
A super chic urban forest wedding in the heart of Chicago
Karen and Bill wanted a stylish urban forest wedding in Chicago, and somehow managed to bring in so much of nature into a chic city space. Air plants, succulents, ferns, logs, herbs, and manzanita branches created the most lush forest we’ve seen in a wedding yet… without actually being a forest, of course! Want to see?
Jurassic Jamboree: a dinosaur wedding with tacos, T-Rex heels, and a golden claw

The cake was topped by two gold T-Rexes in a field of succulents and pin cushion proteas. That doesn’t even cover the Cumbia jams, handmade paper flowers, and amazing-looking hurros and cajeta.

The handmade masks at this Chicago Halloween wedding are #goals
Sam and Justin’s Chicago Halloween wedding featured handmade costumes, vinyls, a flower girl throwing googly eyes, and a first look in a cemetery. Before the ceremony, they rocked some portraits at Laurie’s Planet of Sound and Ash’s Magic Shop. Our favorite part was the elaborate handmade Halloween masks and subsequent mask makeouts. Halloween couples: it’s time to be inspired, and like the sign says, “Let’s get weird.”
