Cristina & Adrian’s colorful, lesbian, vegan night of fun

All to celebrate a steamy romance surrounded by family and friends… with a sweet surprise translation of a favorite love song. Aww, now they’ve put the aw in hawt, too!

Kara & Gary’s fantasy fairy tale heavy metal wedding

Some girls dream of their fairy tale wedding and some girls take that pretty literally, as is the case with this bride’s fantasy fairy tale-themed wedding. Elf ears, Shrek costumes, fabulous hoods and capes, and a sign pointing to all your favorite fantasy haunts. And you’ll never guess why the groom spent so much time under the bride’s dress during the garter toss.

Adrian & Brian’s hippie carnival campout wedding

This wedding brought together the couple’s bohemian/artist/hippie/punk friends for a raucous campout. They may not be the best at RSVPing, but they definitely know how to show up in style. Plus, they were finally able to convince an awesome “Russian/Balkan/marching band meets punk rock dance party” band to play for them!

Elly & Nick’s vintage/redneck planned-in-30-days wedding

These two are a hot mess of mixed-up genres and I LOVE IT! A vintage gal rockin’ a retro look and a self-described redneck guy from Alaska roasting a pig in the backyard. And you’re going to love their forest-y mushroom cupcakes, caramel apples, and adorable backyard setup.

Lane & Jeff’s eco-conscious upcycled wedding

You know a wedding has made good eco choices when you only end up with a small grocery bag of trash at the end. Add that to the fabulously upcycled dress, DIYed napkins, coffee filter flowers, homemade jam favors, massive potluck (with nine pies!), and an awesome depression-era band, and you’ll love this sweet outdoor, budget party.
