Oh, and if you can’t get enough of this color, we’ve also got a whole bunch of posts about green wedding shoes.

Natalie & Matthew’s homebrewed kilted lakeside wedding

This pair may have never dreamed of their wedding much before planning it, but it’s certainly become one of our dream weddings. With kilts, an emerald green dress, homebrewed beer, and Celtic wishing stones, it was pretty magical.

Kilts, handmade gowns, and a William Wallace sword — it’s the Braveheart-themed wedding of your fantasy-filled dreams!

Rhiannon & Alex’s communal home-brew camp wedding

Nothing says a challenge like combining two families into a mega-project-management wedding! But this wedding in the middle of a combined family Thanksgiving is nothing if not a great example of loving collaboration. Add in the mossy forest-inspired decor, the Wai-Ching dress, and the HUGE origami crane “arch,” and you’ll be a convert into the communal wedding planning way of life.
