Our Los Angeles Latino love on a budget wedding

Succulent favors, antiqued gift table, and some last-minute farm tables… it’s a rustc and DIYed wedding! Oh, and don’t forget the homage to the groom’s Mexican heritage. We’re talking Loteria place cards, Mexican blankets, and a taco and margarita bar. We also nominate their adopted shiba mix for the “best dressed wedding dog” award!

Keep it cute and simple with this mini-succulent + tea lights centerpiece combo

We love it when a picture so perfectly captures a sweet, simple idea. The concept behind the centerpieces at Maeraj and Michael’s wedding is just tiny succulents in jam jars + tea lights. That’s it. The end. The result is not only lovely and clean, but your guests also get adorable little plants to take home with them.

Sandi Jo & John’s Neo-Victorian circus sideshow wedding

Inspiration can come from anywhere, but in this case, it came straight from the venue, [vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/the-quixotic-world"]The Quixotic World[/vendor-heart]. What once was a low-key tea party wedding became a raucous, burlesque “Gears and Garters” Victorian circus sideshow wedding! We’re talking corsets, hula hoops, clowns, and sideshow acts — all following a sweet handfasting.

Anais & Ira’s low-key handmade crafty wedding

One way to bond over the wedding is to get everyone and their mother involved in the tiny details. That’s exactly what this couple did, and it made planning a little more sane than it could have been. With paper and knitted flowers, an all-vegan-plus-pork menu, and lots of woodsy and crafty details, you know a lot of heart (and probably sweat) went into this wedding. Oh, and don’t forget to pour one out for the missing home-brewed beer that could have been.
