Amanda & Meghan’s glittery queer wedding

Two dresses, two ladies, and many ways to love this wedding. Don’t miss the emotional vows, the perfect-for-them readings, the shiny aisle decor, and the pet-themed cake. But the dance party at the reception may just trump it all — as long as you don’t split your pants while you’re dipping it low!

Lisa & Adam’s Southern gothic nerdy wedding

These two gothically-inclined cuties totally know how to combine TARDIS cookies with elegantly dark decor, sweet vows with a gorgeous stage ceremony, and Southern charm with grace in the face of grief. This wedding had its share of challenges, but the end result was something to be admired. Oh, and just wait until you see how the father/daughter dance ended up one of the funniest moments!

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.

Rachael & Chris’ whimsical tea party wedding

Get your tea cups out, folks, we have an Alice theme going on! A fluffy blue dress, mix-your-own Italian soda bar, lawn games (with croquet, natch!), a goooorgeous garden, and a big ol’ top hat brings it all together. Oh, and there’s some keen advice on leaving your guests to their own devices when mixing up drinks. It can go awry.
