YAY, LESBIAN WEDDINGS! We celebrate all identities within the LGBT umbrella, including transgender weddings, gay weddings, and bisexuality, as well nonbinary and non-binary gender identity issues. If you want to talk fashion, darlings, be sure to check out our two brides, two dresses posts (for lesbian weddings where both partners wore gowns), and our bride in pants archive, which features lots of straight brides too, and SO MUCH non-dress wedding attire inspiration.

“Who’s the ‘groom’ in your lesbian wedding?” Gender stereotypes and assumptions with gay weddings

“So, who’s the guy in your relationship?” This question (or versions of it) is one of the more common questions posed to lesbian couples and the most frustrating. The reverse is true of male couples. While most people have posed this question with absolutely no malice or agenda, people in same-sex relationships (including myself) can get kind of huffy about it. That is not always helpful, so lets talk about that question.

Amanda & Meghan’s glittery queer wedding

Two dresses, two ladies, and many ways to love this wedding. Don’t miss the emotional vows, the perfect-for-them readings, the shiny aisle decor, and the pet-themed cake. But the dance party at the reception may just trump it all — as long as you don’t split your pants while you’re dipping it low!

Sadie & Devin’s heartfelt queer wedding at a historic brewery

Two brides, a custom suit, a lavender dress, and DIYed decor, all wrapped up in a shared donut eating at the end make this wedding as sweet as sugar. But their tale of woe turned whoa in their venue selection is a scene-stealer in this wedding in Seattle.

Keri & Jess’ Avengers: Assemble wedding

Avengers: assemble for this slightly geeky and slightly traditional wedding of two gorgeous ladies who have a long history of trying to figure out which Avenger they would be. Spoiler: one of them is totally Captain America. Take a peek at the “wife & wife” cake, the handcrafted cake knife and many many flowers, and a sweet little story of one bride and her mother.
