Indian culture meets American tradition in these two ceremonies
Two heritages, two weddings, two times the swanky wedding! Lauren and Ben chose to host the ceremonies over two days to honor the families involved. They decided to use the color red to add some cohesion to the ceremonies and into the reception. All of the events were held at a vinyard in Braselton, Georgia called Chateau Elan, which looks gorgeously swanky.
Shannon & Fran’s 1920s era vegan-friendly potluck wedding
A 1920s-inspired wedding… but not in Gatsby style? Hell yes. This couple embraces their more humble beginnings with an intimate and laid-back celebration like their grandparents might have had. This included some vegan-friendly pot luck, old timey penny candy, vintage-style dresses and pocket watches, and super chic lavender and wheat bouquets.
JR & Mike’s spontaneous steampunk wedding
Lovers of steampunk, handmade dresses, and crazy DIYed weddings: unite! This wedding is for you. Everything about this party was crafted by the couple and their friends, even when unexpected changes forced them to move venues. Wait until you see the fire spinners, an amazing “bouquet,” and the groom’s chain mail.
An opulent multi-day HinJew wedding
When we were sent this San Francisco wedding, I was gobsmacked first by its amazingness and second by its enormity! There is so much to absorb here. It was lovingly dubbed by the party as the “HinJew” wedding since bride Ruchira is Indian and groom Dave is Jewish! You have to see all the facets of the multi-day celebration including the performances, the decor, and the insanely huge hora!
