Ashley & Oliver’s homemade wedding on the dunes
This wedding explodes with DIY details: a handmade dress and shrug, self-assembled bouquets and centerpieces, jewelry, hairpieces, flask garters, photo booth props, and barefoot sandals(!). The sandals were the perfect shoe solution for a beach ceremony. The handfasting, adorable “ring bear,” and gorgeous setting round out a fabulous wedding day.
Julie & Tom’s sci-fi and carnival-inspired treehouse wedding
Snow cones, vuvuzelas, high school students doing historical readings, dressed up dogs, 10-mile runs in wedding garb, a treehouse ceremony, Doctor Who… dude, it’s even fun typing it out! Lots of interests, lots of DIY, and lots of awesome. The bride doesn’t even mention that there was a milkshake bar, which I totally spied on the menu. What!
Leah & Charles’ art gallery foodie wedding
Lots of DIY, paper cranes, photo booth hijinks, mini flags, and a glove-rocking mother of the bride, all wrapped up in an art gallery package surrounded by family and friends. Are you in? Thought so. Plus, you’ll learn some undergarment wisdom for the ages. Check out this food and art-loving wedding in our spring theme week.
Make a fancy candelabra centerpiece for under a fiver
I made this centrepiece with a beachy theme for less than $5 NZ (approximately 3.90 US). If you’re not having a beach wedding, think about this centerpiece in all black or a dark red for a goth wedding, or creating a steampunk version? The themed candelabra options are endless…
Jamie & Nick’s self-catered Halloween theater wedding
Fog machines rock until they set the fire alarm off. Thankfully this pair had a great attitude and helpful friends to help them pull of their Halloween-themed DIY party despite that little setback. And you’ll love their paper burning ceremony to rid them of all their skeletons in the closet. Halloween week rocks!
Jamie & Mengmeng’s geeky Corgi-loving wedding
Jamie and Mengmeng (Jameng, as the tabloids call them) rocked a Chinese-influenced, geek-tastic, Joss Whedon-loving wedding celebrating all of their favorite interests. Get ready for chopsticks, Corgis, and a Serenity cake.
