Allison & Chris’ post-apocalyptic carnival 75 feet underground

First we’ve got midway games, fire performances, and balloon animals. Then there’s an underground cold war museum bunker, Fallout-themed decor, and post-apocalyptic catering. It’s a fusion of carnival and the apocalypse that we can totally get behind! That doesn’t even cover the fabulously redesigned heirloom dress and 3D-printed rings. And just wait until you see what happened with the helicopter ring delivery.

‘Stina & Graham’s DIY country ranch wedding

This pair tackled tons of DIY projects, battled some very inconsistent weather, and had to cater a party in the middle of the country. But you’d never know these were even challenges when you see the awesome Mexican catering, the cool ambiance (event producer groom FTW!), and the lovely weather. These photos give off one theme more than any other: FUN.

Katy Perry the Wedding Unicorn: she sneezes glitter, pees lemonade, and shoots pink fire

Our wedding featured a life-sized unicorn that sneezed glitter, peed lemonade, and shot pink fire. If that sounds more like the twisted fantasy of a six-year-old girl than a standard wedding item… well, that’s just how we roll. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a bride dispensing lemonade from a unicorn’s genitals.
