The festival-inspired, rain-soaked, bohemian wedding of our dreams

They’re just a festival-going, nature-loving couple who wanted to throw a rad party with camping, port-o-potties, lanterns, umbrellas, and an outdoor sink made by Nic.

Join Willow & Chris on their tour of Philly and retro bowling lounge wedding

A purple swing dress, Irregular Choice shoes, a grand tour of awesome places in Philadelphia, a quaich ceremony, and a retro bowling alley reception? This wedding has so much 1950s nostalgia going on to transport us directly there. Add in the geeky and pop culture touches like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, and their amazing music choices and we’re all totally won over.

Lauren & Philip’s handfasted pig roast organic farm wedding with a surprise goat

The theme of this organic farm wedding was a tribute to all of the amazing people in their lives. This couple runs in a unique circle of artists, farmers, cooks, and musicians, so they incorporated as many local vendors as possible, and highlight their abilities. Just wait until you see the awesome space, the gorgeous guest book poster, and of course, the surprise goat cuddle.
