A barefoot travel-themed summer camp wedding (with breakfast buffet!)
Caitlinn and Luke were married atop a huge rock in a beautiful, sunny clearing. The day proceeded with happy tears and bare feet. They incorporated their love of travel (especially to Africa) in their decor and theme. Instead of giving away something small as favors, they had glass jars with Beta fish in them next to three different charitable organization’s write-ups. The guests could take a pebble and pick which organization they wished receive a donation in their names.
The Arkenstone of weddings: a barefoot Hobbit-themed wedding
When it comes to Lord of the Rings weddings, this barefoot Hobbit-themed wedding wins all the Arkenstones. Lanterns, elven bridesmaids, a crown headpiece, hobbit groomsmen (and groom!), and even a dwarf! Gandalf the Grey presided over the ceremony and they ate Hobbit hole cake. There’s so much Tolkien goodness to see, on top of the already amazing silver dress, purple hair, and epic costumes. This pair won’t be throwing their rings into Mount Doom anytime soon.
We’re fantasizing about this warriors meet fairies wedding
Lori and Josh planned their warriors meet fairies wedding with so much style. The story went as follows, “A mismatched group of warriors (the groomsmen) got lost in their travels during a storm and stumbled into the forest of the fairies (the wedding reception and ceremony). And the war chief fell in love with one of the fairies and so a wedding was called for.” With mismatched decor of clocks, water pitchers, bird cages, old books, and candelabras, they made a lovely setup for the makeshift wedding.
The King officiated this retro Vegas destination wedding in a tiki bar
Tasha and Martin live in Australia, but they trekked all the way out to Las Vegas for their rock ‘n’ roll Vegas destination wedding. Everyone headed to the oldest Tiki bar in Las Vegas, Frankie’s Tiki Room, a very cool, very dark, and intimate bar. The wedding was officiated by The King himself, naturally.
You won’t have seen anything like this rustic costume wedding with a pancake cake
Travis and Gia are both the adventurous and creative, so they planned a super DIYed rustic costume wedding with Halloween touches (one final hurrah for this season!) and a totally independent spirit. So there were kick-ass decorations incorporating pumpkins, costumes, rustic wood, hot pepper jelly favors, and a PANCAKE CAKE! Plus, I just can’t get over the awesomeness of Gia’s short green dress, tiny lace gloves, and birdcage veil. Oh, and don’t miss Travis’ general hotness in his killer tie.
