A Sonic Screwdriver bouquet, a cave wedding, and one familiar couple
We’ve seen Tribesmaids Kiona and Jennifer before in this sneaky peeky of their engagement photos. So when I saw this wedding photo show up on the Tribe, I snagged it right up! Sometimes the Tribe, the Offbeat Flickr Pool, and Pinterest just give us a little more awesomeness than usual. This is one of those weeks.

Tracy & Nick’s crafty and thrifty paper poms wedding
A craft day was required for the amount of DIYing happening at this wedding. Wooden flowers, paper poms, crafty centerpieces, and mini clothespins… it’s inspiration overload! Add in more awesomeness like the bride’s brother as officiant and the casual Hungarian catering, and it’s a sweet little party.

Trisha & Matthew’s lots of DIY colorful wedding
I think if I were to hire a bride to make my own DIY details, this would be the one. She made awesome paper flowers and a rolled magazine page card box, but the most amazing contributions were the FABULOUS bridesmaid dresses and homemade cake — all of which look professional. This bride and her helpers have major talent. On top of it all, this pair is so damned cute that I will call them Squishies and they will be my Squishies.
A retro polka-dot cocktail party wedding
