Klaudia & Roland’s Wonderland in Hungary wedding
Losing your destination venue the day before the wedding is right up there with the most party-ruining things that could happen. But this pair had an in with a local pub and turned a total negative into a big positive! Add in the gorgeous Alice in Wonderland portrait shoot and some heavy metal (and a little Bob Marley) to get you through the day, and we totally know “everything little thing is gonna be alright.”
Jesse & Ben’s potluck backyard hippie handfasting
When you’re in the mood to kick tradition out, this is the celebration to see: a non-legal backyard solstice potluck with a VERY participatory ceremony, personal tattoos instead of rings, and a super sweet memorial for the groom’s father. These adorable hippies knew what they wanted and embraced it full-on. And we get to see it all come together!
Rosie & Kerry’s fantastical fairytale costume wedding
You guys, this wedding has got what you need: handmade Victorian garb, lolita bridesmaid dresses, a magician who performs a Punch and Judy show, and tons of costumes, including one Dobby the house elf! These theatrical folks know how to party, fantastic fairytale-style! Plus, this bride has some sage advice about taking on a lot of DIY projects.
Bobbie & Mario’s family-focused accessible wedding
The music in this wedding was totally note-worthy: an acoustic guitar duo playing covers, a gospel choir singing Bob Dylan and Stevie Wonder, a “tropical space funk” genre band! It’s a music-loving, glowing ceremony-having, adorable family-including good time. Oh, and wait until you hear what got this pair laughing at the honky-tonk-themed after party!
Melissa & Scott’s atypical Southern Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em celebration
This Southern bride, her Southern family, and her Southern groom can tell you that we’re not all the cowboy boot-wearing girls depicted on TV and not all of our weddings look like a scene from Steel Magnolias. And in this wedding, it looks like FUN! Board games (including Mystery Date!), a Low Country Boil, a grown-up flower girl, and a pretty sweet processional make this a whole other ball game.
Ribbons, soccer, and mimes at this destination wedding in New Orleans
These Chicago teachers decided on a small destination wedding in New Orleans (one of their favorite places after vacationing there!). With Washington Square Park in Marginy as the backdrop, they incorporated their favorite things: animal masks, floral prints, pastel ribbons, M&Ms with cat faces printed on them(!), and 30 of their nearest and dearest.
