A barefoot travel-themed camp wedding

A barefoot travel-themed summer camp wedding (with breakfast buffet!)

Caitlinn and Luke were married atop a huge rock in a beautiful, sunny clearing. The day proceeded with happy tears and bare feet. They incorporated their love of travel (especially to Africa) in their decor and theme. Instead of giving away something small as favors, they had glass jars with Beta fish in them next to three different charitable organization’s write-ups. The guests could take a pebble and pick which organization they wished receive a donation in their names.

Get away from the real world for a while and explore this woodland fae wedding. Just wait until you see what the bride used for her ribbon wands. Spoiler: it wasn’t ribbons!

When a hand-airbrushed wedding dress at a colorful forest wedding slayed us forever…

When a bride customizes her dress like this, we’ve got to bow down and give it props. Artist Taylor and her partner Christopher rocked a most colorful forest wedding in California for which we fell hard. Taylor made all of the bouquets and boutonnieres, centerpieces, and of course, airbrushed her own flippin’ wedding dress!

But the rest of it is just as creative and lovely. Her multi-hued hair in intricate braids, the rainbow flowers, the huge colored Jenga, her kick-ass wedding boots, and the cascading rainbow flower cake. It’s all making our day and dazzling our eyes. You just have to see it for yourself…
