Lane & Jeff’s eco-conscious upcycled wedding

You know a wedding has made good eco choices when you only end up with a small grocery bag of trash at the end. Add that to the fabulously upcycled dress, DIYed napkins, coffee filter flowers, homemade jam favors, massive potluck (with nine pies!), and an awesome depression-era band, and you’ll love this sweet outdoor, budget party.

Gillian & Mark’s offbeat lite transatlantic wedding

This wedding packs a visual punch with a gorgeous cathedral in Scotland, awesome kilts, and most amazing sunny day for the UK.

When you’ve done it once the wrong way, sometimes you come out of it knowing exactly the way you want it this time — a polka-dotted, red and blue, retro, DIYed outdoor bonanza.
