Jessie & Mark’s fête fun, games, and baking wedding

This UK fête wedding had all the games you’d expect: Splat the Alien, a Nerf-gun Monster Shooting Gallery, and a Hook-A-Duck. Plus they had board games, a baking contest, and even Tombola! It was like the most excellent carnival + wedding ever. It doesn’t hurt that these two are ultra adorable and really crafty. Lots of DIY = lots of personalization.

Angi & Erik’s upcycled country barn wedding

This was a wedding with a lot of hidden surprises: I didn’t see the awesome bouquet, brunch buffet, and upcycled window/seating chart until I hit the Flickr set! There is a lot of DIY to see, a few repurposed items (bride’s dress, machinist-made rings!), and a whole lot of sweet details in this countrified barn wedding.

One look at the pink crinoline, the multicolored roses, and “cakeluck” display, and you’ll be begging for more. Picture a beautiful daytime wedding in the park complete with lawn games, giant pillows to lounge on, and a ceremony that started with “Can I get a ‘hell yeah’?”

Meagan & Simon’s Mad Hatter tea party wedding

Fabric and button flowers, overflowing tea cups, The Red Queen’s croquet, and some adorable hats — it can only be an Alice in Wonderland-themed wedding! Add in the epic food fight and you’re in for hilarity. Watch out for Alice though — she’s got her eye on your cake.
