Joni & Jeremy’s medieval handfasting and archery wedding
Pink hair, custom medieval dress, and goblets of mead? I think we’ve got ourselves an awesome Dutch/English bilingual handfasting! Add in a rad archery session, lots of fantasy and medieval garb, and a fairy tale retelling of the couple’s love story, and you’ll never want to travel back to the present day.
Beatrijs & Danny’s colourful industrial wedding
This couple’s beautiful celebration is full of contrasting elements and bright details, from the groom’s neon green shoes to the bride’s bright blue fingernails. Among all the tough stuff and inclusive measures like making sure there was plenty of seating inside and out, you’ve also got to love how they were able to include the bride’s father, recuperating in the hospital, via iPhone presence and Skype.
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.
