Margie & Steven’s sparkly rainbow musical wedding

You may just explode with rainbows after seeing this colorful wedding with a surprise rainbow cake, handmade dress with rainbow tulle, and a science museum reception. The hand-composed song and original poem during the ceremony may have you crying rainbows, too. Oh, and just wait until you see how the bridesmaids calmed the bride down during a stressful moment.

Krys & Kayla’s fairy tale castle wedding

When the bride told her groom that she had always wanted a fairy tale-style wedding in a castle, this groom didn’t hesitate to do everything in his power to make it happen. And happen it did.

Caroline & Dave’s sunrise beach wedding

This week we’re celebrating the tea-length, the mini, the cocktail, and the midi — that’s right, it’s short dress week! Today we’ve got a couple who opted for an early-morning sunrise ceremony, with all of the challenges and gorgeous scenery that entails.

Greta & Erty’s community-made Victorian-styled wedding weekend

You know those weddings where you just end up grinning like a damn fool because everyone just looks glowing with happiness and gratefulness and someone walks by and thinks you’re watching something naughty? Yeah, well, this is that kind of wedding. Get ready to look very silly laughing and crying at adorable guitar-playing dads, top hat- (and ice cream-) wearing couples, inflatable horse and pool noodle jousts, giant Jenga, tear-jerking ceremony songs… and I can’t even fit it all in here!

Isabel & Samuel’s treasure boxes and bikes on the beach wedding

A Nicaraguan groom, a Cuban-Bolivian bride from the U.S., and a glorious beach ceremony in Nicaragua — this is some multicultural fabulousness. But the best part is how much we learned from the bride and her search for unique local vendors for her destination wedding. Plus, get your hankies ready for the bride’s story of her mother and the treasure boxes.

Janet & Phil’s intimate tandem bike-themed wedding

Get ready for tandem bicycles, colored crinoline (with matching veil!), and the prettiest little backyard wedding we’ve seen in a while. It may be small, but it packs a punch in emotion. Don’t miss their custom Cards Against Humanity deck, handmade flower bouquet, and major board game setup. These two are introverts, but it didn’t stop them from sharing a lot of amazing non-spotlight time with those they love most. Learn from then, fellow introverts!
