Lydia & Johan’s metal-inspired relaxed wedding (with skits!)
A little heavy metal, some geeky references, a custom Etsy dress, and a lot of friends contributing to the fun… sounds like a wedding made for our readers. This bride also learned to put down the wedding magazines and totally embrace a lack of control on the wedding day. Plus, a certain Dutch tradition of performing skits will totally amaze you.
Kara & Gary’s fantasy fairy tale heavy metal wedding
Some girls dream of their fairy tale wedding and some girls take that pretty literally, as is the case with this bride’s fantasy fairy tale-themed wedding. Elf ears, Shrek costumes, fabulous hoods and capes, and a sign pointing to all your favorite fantasy haunts. And you’ll never guess why the groom spent so much time under the bride’s dress during the garter toss.
Curiouser and curiouser: it’s an Alice in Wonderland wedding
Nicole and Mike had an Alice in Wonderland-themed wedding complete with flower girl and ring bearer costumes, mushroom and teacup centerpieces, and the bride’s handmade blue dress (complete with lacy pantaloons!). Mike channeled his inner Mad Hatter too. The wedding was held at Darby House in Galloway, OH and was the perfect outdoor backdrop to this theme.
Natasha & Jordan’s Roaring Twenties theater wedding
This retro ’20s bash was held in a theater, had three headpiece changes (my kind of girl), and eclectic music (including a ceremony serenade from the bride’s father’s band!). And get ready to get a toothache from the tutu flower girls and kids reading Shel Silverstein at the ceremony. PLUS: a 1920s-themed photo booth makes everyone era-ready!
