A magical and bookish Harry Potter wedding with a golden snitch cake

Kendall & Alex’s Portillo’s-fueled crafty wedding

After rejecting expensive catering, these two opted for a Chicago fave: Portillo’s! That plus awesome cupcakes, a cool non-cheesy DJ, and tons of origami flowers, and you have this sweet offbeat lite Midwestern wedding. We also learned from the bride that it’s okay to forget your lines in the ceremony.

‘Stina & Graham’s DIY country ranch wedding

This pair tackled tons of DIY projects, battled some very inconsistent weather, and had to cater a party in the middle of the country. But you’d never know these were even challenges when you see the awesome Mexican catering, the cool ambiance (event producer groom FTW!), and the lovely weather. These photos give off one theme more than any other: FUN.

Toni & Mark’s Civil War costumed picnic wedding

With a love for Civil War reenactment, it was no surprise that this couple and their friends were totally down for a period costume picnic. Add in tons of help from those friends and family with a potluck pulled pork feast, and you’ve got a community-supported party in the making. You’ll also want to hear the story of the groom saving the bride from a rogue box fan.
