Riley and Anei’s Wisconsin backyard wedding

Riley and Anei had a lovely backyard ceremony at Riley’s childhood home in Madison, WI full of sweet details like an antique bathtub for a cooler, farmer’s market flowers, tons of string lights, and a striking bridal pantsuit for which we fell head over heels. And I’m thinking you will, too. Let’s see more photos of the outfits and hear about their ceremony and challenges in planning this whole event as a trans/queer couple

Think tons of fabulous florals (including matching bouquets and sweet dog collars!), two flowing and stunning dresses, classically gorgeous centerpieces, pastel macarons, and of course, their two huge hounds who lit up the ceremony.

Wait until you see this Catskills Buddhist wedding with prom-themed reception

These two cuties had a lovely journey to their Catskills Buddhist wedding at Dai Bosatsu Catskills. They had been attending a weekly sit at Dai Bosatsu Zendo’s NYC zendo, Shobo-ji, and eventually started visiting Dai Bosatsu Zendo, a Zen Buddhist monastery in the Catskills. Side note: when you see it in these photos, be warned it will take your breath away. Soon after the two got engaged, they learned that Dai Bosatsu Zendo hosted weddings. They then booked the gorgeous Arnold House in Livingston Manor for a prom-themed reception.

This theatrical Halloween wedding slays with its dark glamour

Monique and Danika worked with some of California’s most skilled designers to create this masterpiece of a theatrical Halloween wedding. From the headdress to the table decor, the skulls and skeletons of creatures adorned everything. Danika’s custom dress was handmade by the killer [heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/dark-garden-unique-corsetry"]Dark Garden Unique Corsetry[/heart] and is a work of art. Their ceremony may have been sweet and simple with just the two of them and their officiant, but the reception was another story. Every guest showed up in elaborate costumes to watch the spectacular burlesque show. It’s time to see the whole thing in all its glory.
