A daddy/daughter cake smooshing and emerald green dress at this Ohio wedding
Joanna and Keon shared a gorgeous garden wedding at Whetstone Park of Roses in Ohio complete with the bride’s emerald green gown and colorful bouquet, the groom’s killer socks and adorable bow tie, and “to infinity and beyond” cake topper (a favorite line shared by both the groom and his daughter). But the sweetest tidbit of all is the shared moment between the bride and the groom’s daughter at the ceremony. Oh wait, maybe it was the daddy/daughter cake smooshing. Either way, there are some must-see moments at this Ohio wedding. Don’t miss the seed packet favors, too!

You haven’t seen a backyard wedding until you’ve seen Simone & Andrew’s fairy-lit wedding
This backyard, front yard, and even driveway wedding is unlike any at-home wedding we’ve seen. The home is gorgeous, the fashion is impeccable, and the flower grandma made our heart asplode. Don’t miss the bride’s fabulous pink dress and flower crown, the club lighting-style reception dancing poolside, and the mother of the bride getting down in the pool.
Jillian & Martin’s BBQ & craft beer garden wedding
