Gwen & Mark’s geeky fantasy barn wedding

A countryside handfasting, geeky references all over the place, and sweet homemade touches (like the bride’s handmade dress!) — this UK wedding is a dream for geeky lovers of gorgeous scenery. Add in some giant lawn games like Jenga and Connect Four and this turned into a seriously fun fête. Keep a look out for the Blackadder reference in the unity ceremony, too!

Tattoos and airplanes meet Adventure Time at this UK wedding

Elle & Bear’s Welsh and Scottish clifftop wedding

This pair wanted to celebrate their faith, their family tartans, and their EPIC Scottish clifftop scenery. They had handmade tush cushions for sitting on the rocks, kilts and tails, and a really good way to mingle AND thank you guests after the ceremony. Plus, you’ll love the way they handled some objections to their wedding planning choices.
