Free printable “Deep Breath Cards” for a little wedding solitude
Ariel recently explained her tips for slowing down and enjoying your wedding day so you won’t have wedding day memory loss. The final and most interactive tip was the concept of “Deep Breath Cards.” So we decided to actually make Deep Breath Cards for you to print and bring with you in your day-of supplies!
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!
A sweet candy and hearts circus wedding
Sarah and Ross celebrated their engagement by seeing a circus act. They described it as “spectacular and magical,” and couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate their marriage than by emulating the fun. They only had one restriction: NO CLOWNS! Read all about the circus-y celebration with gobs of candy and tons of hearts.
A hula hooping carnival performance wedding
A first look by the ocean, a ruffly green reception dress, a magician, and hula hooping. Plus, all the single ladies lined up flash mob-style for the bouquet toss to, of course, Beyonce. I’ve got your attention now, right? This carnival wedding in Massachusetts is bananas and you need to see it.
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!
Joyz & Yoichi’s surrealistic multicultural performance wedding
A troupe of body builders, stilt walkers in studded thongs, 75 dancers, in-character actors serving food, and eight bodyguards for the couple — yep, it happened. And it happened in Bali, in an amazing venue, despite seemingly insurmountable familial doubt. But hey, you want the performance of a lifetime, you do what you have to do to get it.
