Linda & Dave’s pseudo-rustic super stylin’ wedding

Hand-painted signs, vintage stoles, an ultra fashionable wedding party, reception outfit changes, tutus, fascinators, big hair… HEAD ASPLODE! Even the cupcakes are rustically gorgeous in re-purposed cigar boxes. Plus, everyone is killing me with adorable first look photos. Damn mascara running.

Petra & Tahir’s cross-cultural outdoor peacock wedding

Peacock feathers, homemade vanilla syrup, and two ceremonies make me happy. Add in some tree planting, multicultural reception games, lots of henna, and a whole roasted lamb, and it’s a party. Check out this amazing wedding full of rich culture.

Sarah & Aaron’s rustic forest camp-out wedding

It started with the vintage postcard invitations and ended with a nighttime game of “Monster.” That’s a pretty awesome way to have an outdoor camp-out wedding. Add in a potluck feast, a dance party to rival any and all barn dances, and sage advice on buying kegs, and you’re bound to enjoy this taste-of-rustic forest wedding.

Candyce & Lane’s mad hatter garden tea party wedding

“We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.” And this couple knows just how to throw a mad tea party on a budget, complete with key motif, Wonderland readings, and hats galore, natch. Plus they accented everything with peacock feathers… and real peacocks came around to steal them back!
