Melaina & Nick’s colorful playful and kid-friendly wedding
After hiring him to color her comics, he colored her world. D’aw! And a theme was born: color! That, along with everything playful and awesome, makes this artsy and geeky wedding a feast for the eyes and fun for all ages. Though a few mishaps were born of Hurricane Irene, somehow it all came together in the end.
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.
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!
