Petra & Tahir’s cross-cultural outdoor peacock wedding
Peacock feathers, homemade vanilla syrup, and two ceremonies make me happy. Add in some tree planting, multicultural reception games, lots of henna, and a whole roasted lamb, and it’s a party. Check out this amazing wedding full of rich culture.
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!
Mich & Dan’s gothic Transformers and cupcakes wedding
Tribe moderator Mich has a flair for DIY and it totally shows in her handmade dress, fascinator, shawl, bridesmaid dress, and 1000 paper cranes! And that’s not even listing everything. The rest of the story involves Transformers, gothic red and black details, and some of the sweetest dance moves, including a man-on-man Dirty Dancing lift.
Corinne & Mike’s Motown and movies Irish wedding
Tons of DIY, an awesome first look with which we had to tinker, a mashed potato bar, an all-Motown-all-the-time reception, and a favorite movie theme means lots of amazing personal touches. Plus, the bride saves the day with a bridesmaid dress snafu. Fair warning: get your tissues ready for their favorite moment.
