Karly & Steve’s artsy and crafty upcycled wedding

A certain superstorm may have wreaked havoc in the days before this wedding, but they pulled it all together somehow with the help of friends (and a new “BYOC: Bring Your Own Cupcakes” clause!). We’re really thankful they did, because we did not want to miss the amazing Wai-Ching dress, gorgeously-coiffed dreads, adorable family sand ceremony, and all of the DIY projects. Oh, let’s not forget the Harry Potter-inspired saxophonist/magician and impromptu break dancing on the dance floor.

Manda & Dave’s afternoon wedding in a nightclub

A black ballgown, an amazing staircase, and a strategically placed leaf for a statue’s modesty? This wedding in a nightclub has it all, and happened on a Monday afternoon, letting the couple celebrate their anniversary and enjoy a hot venue for a cool price.

Superstitions abound at this Friday the 13th wedding

Zach and Rachel’s Canton, Ohio wedding had a Friday the 13th theme including DIY centerpieces with broken mirror pieces, black umbrellas hanging on the stage over the live band, black cat licorice, and they got married under ladders that Zach and his father made. With so much faux bad luck, it has to be good!

Hell yeah, kale bouquets

There seems to be a lot of people talking about kale bouquets lately, as if it’s some sort of recent and possibly ridiculous wedding trend. Are you kidding me? Not only did we feature this photo of kale bouquet back in early 2009, but the bouquet is freaking GORGEOUS! I say, get your freaky kale on, ladies and gentlemen.
