Morgan & Ryan’s travel-themed, vintage suitcases, and VW bus wedding

The first three years of this couple’s seven-year relationship were spent on long flights and lots of late night phone calls. From California to Minnesota, their love is well traveled — as was their wedding. Think travel-themed and vintage (50 vintage suitcases, to be specific!), a ’69 VW bus photo booth, and lots more DIY and retro touches. But it was the bride’s tribute to her groom’s father AND her epiphany about being a plus-sized bride that really stuck with us.

Ian & Jonathon’s laid-back wedding with cupcakes and vests

These two are killing it with cute. You have to see their green and blue matching vest outfits and the bride’s pants outfit with heels and a feather hair clip. Though this wedding had some serious grief surrounding it, they were still able to have a fantastic time with immediate family, lots of rough-housing in the photos, and some carrot cake vows and Chapstick ceremony sweetness. Yep… Chapstick.

This bride owns one of our most favorite dress design companies, [vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/kmkdesigns"]KMKDesigns[/vendor-heart], so you won’t be too surprised to see that her own dress is nothing less than magnificent. But you’ll also be swept away by the other handmade fashions, nom-worthy cupcakes, the jail tour, and the totally sweet “high school prom” first dance.
