Cindy & Sam’s geeky bibliophile wedding

We couldn’t resist mentioning the book arch in this gorgeous wedding in recent Monday Montage, and now Cindy’s giving us the whole bibliography. Folded paper and piles of books abound from aisle decor to bouquets, and from a custom cardbox to their signature arch — but you’re also going to love all the subtle nods to geekery. Book-lovers, get our your library cards and check out all the love!

Val & Theron’s sparkly foodie costume change wedding

This wedding has a chic urban venue, lots of glam outfits (including three dress changes from the bride!), glow necklaces on the dance floor, and a very fun flipbook photo booth (with video!). Speaking of video, you’ll definitely want to check out this couple’s super cute pre-ceremony video. It was a really great way to get people in the mood for celebrating love.

Add a secret letter memorial in your paper flower bouquet

Tribesmaid Inthecorridors made this very sweet little flower memorial for her grandmother and shared it on the Offbeat Bride Tribe. While it technically wasn’t for her wedding, how perfect would this be for brides with a paper flower bouquet (or even a real flower bouquet with one special paper flower tucked in)?

Alyssa & John’s homemade Oktoberfest barbecue in Amish Pennsylvania

Apples and pigs and pickles, oh my! This Oktoberfest barbecue wedding is full of food, but the nods to personal passions steal the show. What happens when two chefs love Eagles football, Rocky, apples, pie, and each other? A very Pennsylvania wedding, rain and/or shine.
