Traci & Tony’s mismatched picnic forest wedding

One way to stay on a budget: have access to an amazing farm venue for free! This gorgeous outdoor setting was the perfect backdrop for this couple’s thrifty (and thrifted) ceremony and forest reception. Starting out with some “Smooch Hooch,” following the chalkboard signs, and ending up in a lighted glen… I think I can handle that kind of party.

Lara & Matt’s mid-summer musical forest wedding

Just a few of the elements of this wedding that I love: the “Just Married” skidder, the pine cone heart, the flash mob belly dance, the accordion accompaniment to the ceremony, the Black Hawk helicopter fly-over, and oh, about a million more things. You might want to check it out to see what I didn’t list.

Lucy & Dan’s vintage vegan Buddhist wedding

This couple collected vintage plates and tablecloths to adorn a sweet little village hall, did a whole lot of DIY, and created a really cool earthy feel. Add in their Buddhist ceremony, vegan reception, and “Who’s Who” board (with baby photos of everyone!), and it’s a personalized party with panache.

Miranda & Evan’s redwood feel-good wedding

In an effort to combine their love of the East Coast, local West Coast food and drink, and their mutual multicultural backgrounds, this pair ended up with a conch shells, awesome beer from Philly, heaps of awesome DIY, and of course, the totally impressive backdrop of redwoods.
