Let your guests take home your un-needed thrifted vases as favors
I know a lot of you have been thrifting for vases and jars to fill with flowers for your DIYed wedding centerpieces. If you don’t feel like you want to lug all that glassware back home, you can do what Offbeat Bride Sabrina did and encourage guests to take their favorites home.
Melanie & Justin’s colourful carnival love affair wedding
This couple is known to throw major ragers, and this wedding had to top them all. The order of the day was carnival: popcorn, lemonade, games, candy, and ten confetti canons at the ceremony. It’s weddings like these that make me want to cut out and hit the midway.
Lari & Andrew’s elegant DIY wedding with a surprise parade
If you want to be surprised at your own ceremony, it definitely helps to know a former stand-up comedienne to officiate and bring the lulz. And she didn’t fail them with secretly written abbreviated stories of the lives of the couple. A surprise Dia de los Muertos parade, some clever DIY, and a classy venue — even the shoes say “Hell Yes!”
Dina & Travis’ Bruce Campbell-loving ’90s mohawked wedding
Bruce Campbell movie poster centerpieces, a fabulously retro laser photo backdrop, ’90s alternative rock, and the groom’s epic four-inch mohawk (and accompanying MOHAWK WIGS) — these people know how to do ’90s retro right! Add in their Azkaban place cards, Time Warp dance, and dad’s serenade, and I’m hooked. You will be too.
Shannon & Fran’s 1920s era vegan-friendly potluck wedding
A 1920s-inspired wedding… but not in Gatsby style? Hell yes. This couple embraces their more humble beginnings with an intimate and laid-back celebration like their grandparents might have had. This included some vegan-friendly pot luck, old timey penny candy, vintage-style dresses and pocket watches, and super chic lavender and wheat bouquets.
Lisa & Dan’s gamer geeks in love wedding
Gamers, designers, and chefs to the core, these two knew what they each could contribute to their homage to geekery and capitalized on it for excellent DIY. Combining very rational vows with funny vows was the key to making sure their guests knew just who they are and what they mean to each other. So take a peek at this gamer wedding with some really good advice on using online vendors!
