Stephanie & Kyle’s bookish blue wedding
This pair may have originally wanted a small wedding, but their family-focused book-loving wedding ended up being just right. We are loving the pink dress, gorgeous ombre chuppah (that took nine months to make!), and super special mom/daughter walk down the aisle. Bit it might have been the rendition of a Muppet song from the bride and her sister that really did us in.
Kimmy and Erik “party forever” at their gorgeous, earthy, live music showcase wedding
Who wants to see Managing Editor Megan’s first time as a bridesmaid? Her two very close friends, Erik and Kimmy, married each other in chic bohemian style, in the Los Angeles mountains. Come for the live music (the groom is a musician), but stay for the fashion (the bride is a stylist).
I’m Jewish, he’s an atheist: Intermarriage, and what I have to leave behind
I’m the daughter of a rabbi and a cantor (and the stepdaughter of yet another rabbi!), sent to Jewish day school as a child, raised Conservative, and while I’m unsure about my personal beliefs, my identity as a Jew has always and will always be super important to me. Just my luck the love of my life turned out to be an atheist…
Meredith & Ainsley’s gingham and glitter wedding weekend
A survey for guest needs, customized snacks in your camp-style guest house, a nostalgia-themed lunch, a pool, trivia, and games all weekend? We are officially ultra-jealous of attendees of this wedding. This couple, who totally knows how to cater to their awesomely diverse community, managed to pull off a stellar wedding weekend full of love, hilarity, and choreographed dance moves.
Katlin & Vadim’s Star Trek Jewish wedding in a garden
This wedding is such an awesome mix of geeky and traditional: Star Trek meets Conservadox Judaism. Although this pair encountered some family drama, they totally triumphed with their chosen family and kicked ass in their Starfleet uniforms, Vulcan ears, and lovely garden ceremony.
Elaine & Mu’s book-themed tea party backyard wedding
Thrifted tea pots and finger sandwiches make our pinkies lift involuntarily. It’s only natural that we’d squee over this wedding: the handmade purple dress masterpiece, the seamlessly integrated interfaith details, and the geeky book details are stellar. Don’t miss how Strictly Ballroom may have subliminally influenced the bride’s decision to marry her groom!
