Clare & Alistair’s tons of hearts and a classic bus wedding

A gearhead groom and a non-traditional bride find common ground with a vintage-style bus to transport their guests from a sweet garden tea to a raucous bar after party. They totally recommend using alternative “non-wedding” vendors and finding DIY projects online, and it worked for them!

Tracy & Nick’s crafty and thrifty paper poms wedding

A craft day was required for the amount of DIYing happening at this wedding. Wooden flowers, paper poms, crafty centerpieces, and mini clothespins… it’s inspiration overload! Add in more awesomeness like the bride’s brother as officiant and the casual Hungarian catering, and it’s a sweet little party.

Marlene & Pete’s DIY vegan wedding in a factory

Vegan fare (barbecued seitan!), an awesome revamped factory venue, and the cutest vintage-inspired couple — they’ve won me over. Add in tons of dancing, some air guitar champions, and kick-ass karaoke, and you’ve got major fun on hand.

A sun-filled same-sex Jewish wedding with an eco-friendly mindset

With an eye for using local businesses and salvaged materials, we already like this wedding. But add in two gorgeous ladies, a fabulous spring day at Joaquin Miller Park, and a personalized chuppah, and I am in! Don’t miss the matching purple flats and bookish details too.

Yes. What about flats?

We’ve got pages and pages of posts about wedding flats, but based on comments I receive, they’re clearly the wedding shoe that seems to get the least love. EVERYONE WANTS MORE FLATS.

So this week: FLATS!

More loud shoes I love

Y’all know the routine by now. I like loud shoes — even the ones I could never afford or ever walk in. If you’re looking for understated this week, you’re not really going to find much here — this link might be better for you if you’re looking for classy.

Today’s collection of VERY LOUD SHOES includes probably a few too many Betsey Johnson and Iron Fist options, including this pair of leopard print shoes with a built-in heart, and some platforms that I really should have included in my skull shoes post a few weeks ago…
