Skull and crossbones boutonnieres for your “pirate crew”

I made these boutonnieres for our Pirate Crew, AKA all our friends and family who are stepping up to help staff our wedding. They will help identify the helpers to any guests or vendors who may need assistance with something. They were super-fast, and super-fun.

Jess & Pete’s glam horror and zombie wedding

We’re falling into the so-excited-it’s-almost-fall trap hardcore. But that’s okay: trap us in your cool embrace and crunchy leaves, fall! Here’s a little horror and zombies pre-Halloween preview to whet your appetite for the season. The dessert bar alone is to die for… think anatomical hearts, zombie mousse graves, and a cake with a giant bloody bite out of it. It’s ghoulishly delicious!

Kyran & Zach’s gothic “day and night”-themed wedding

The theme of this wedding is “day and night,” which is perfectly represented by the colors (white suits and dark purple dresses!) and the cakes, and basically makes our gothic-loving hearts melt. Keep your eyes open for the bride’s amazing hairstyle and color, black veils, special toast to the guests, and some killer dance moves from the groom, too!

Sabina & Mattias’ “far longer than forever” gothic wedding

For this Swedish couple, ’til death do us part just isn’t going to work. They embraced the theme, “Far longer than forever,” complete with skeletons to represent everlasting love. With rich red and black details and a gorgeous church backdrop, we’ll be in love with this wedding forever, too. Oh, and just wait until you see their matching skeleton shoes!
