An intimate and majestic Middle-earth elopement in New Zealand (with a rainbow!)
Kyle is an extrovert and wanted a large wedding in our hometown with all of our family and friends. I wanted a small elopement on top of a mountain in New Zealand where they filmed The Lord of the Rings. I wanted to feel like I was journeying across Middle-earth with the one I love. I wanted our wedding to be an adventure.
We decided to do both! Here’s our magical Middle-earth elopement…
BIFF! BAM! POW! A superhero and pop culture-infused scout camp wedding
This pair’s love of movies, superheroes, video games, and pop culture influenced all their decisions in this superhero scout camp wedding. Don’t even think about missing their sweet walk down the aisle, the bride’s gorgeously retro blue dress that she made the NIGHT BEFORE the wedding, the wild groomsmen photos, and alllll of the superhero touches.
Rain can’t dampen spirits at Chels & Samantha’s New Zealand wedding
A first look with the mums, two short dresses on two brides, a lovely, rainy day at the arboretum, and so much love — this wedding slays us. Don’t miss the rainbow cord handfasting, the clouds and balloons cake, and the amazing moment where a set of twins decide to make the ceremony all about their “gobbledygook” and lots of hugs.
Katie & Gordon’s bird-themed barn wedding featuring a naughty goose
This bird-themed wedding started with the perfect wildlife preserve venue. Flocks of fauna and a peacock circle made for some feather-y awesomeness. Except for when one very bold goose decided to invade the ceremony. But aside from rogue geese, this gorgeous wedding was luminous. Wait until you see the bride’s amazing feather sleeves!
Jay & Pepe’s rural crafty New Zealand wedding
We heart this casual New Zealand wedding with lawn games, lots o’ kids, and even more paper flowers. Plus, you’ll love the groom’s skull ring, the bride’s retro dress, and their sweet favorite moment. And just wait until you see how they almost missed their officiant at the ceremony!
MJ & Josh’s wildlife sanctuary red and gold wedding
This isn’t a Game of Thrones red wedding, but it definitely is a RED RED WEDDING! A vivid crimson dress, shiny gold and red cake, and red crystal bouquets make it a much happier occasion. But if you’re planning to live stream your wedding, these two have a really important tip for you…
