circus

We love circus wedding theme ideas, with stuff officiants in top hats, backdrops for wedding photo booths, bright colors and stripes, a candy bar at the wedding reception, circus themed wedding invitations, circus signs, and tons of colorful table centerpieces ideas. Check the acrobats, trapeze artists, and un-scary clowns.

A gay wedding at a children’s museum in Philadelphia

Daniel and Sauce were the first LGBTQ wedding at the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. And let me tell you, their adorableness combined with that epic venue means this wedding will not disappoint. I had a perma-smile the entire time I looked at these photos. Daniel and Sauce are magnetic with their obvious love, match-y glasses, bow ties, and suspenders, and infectious laughter.

An ultra sweet circus-style Aussie festival wedding

When Kate from Urban Safari Photography told us about this wedding at the Spiegeltent at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, located in the Garden of Unearthly Delights in Adelaide, South Australia, it looked like something special. Lana and James were wed among the venue’s own spectacular decor and afterwards had access to their own private ferris wheel. And I am officially in love with Lana’s short and sparkly, long-sleeved dress!

carnival illuminated letters 1

You can make your own carnival midway-style illuminated letters

Who knows where my love of midway illuminated lettering comes from, but it’s definitely fed by my addiction to Disneyland. More specifically, the part of the park called “Main Street, USA,” which consists of gift shops and ice cream parlors dressed up to look like an early 20th Century bustling downtown street on speed. Too shiny not to love. But I digress…

Typically an illuminated letter like this is made of metal, is very heavy and would cost you a pretty penny. I knew I wanted something to light up at my wedding, so I figured I’d make my own midway letters. You can too! And there are power tools involved!
