Don your disguise for this planetarium masquerade wedding

Stacy and Mikey were married under the stars at the Michigan Science Center, with an elaborate masquerade ball reception held at the Crofoot Ballroom two weeks later, on October 30. Masked guests were entertained by the Detroit Circus Company’s flame throwers, stilt walkers, contortionists, and trapeze artists. Just wait until you see Stacy and Mikey’s reception garb and makeup — it is seriously a sight to behold. Let’s check out the gorgeous ceremony and wildly-coiffed reception of your masquerade dreams.

You’ll fall so hard for Nicole & Asher’s free expression, red dress, totally non-conforming wedding

The theme to this wedding was “freedom of expression.” These two had to overcome many obstacles from society in regards to orientations, identities, and professions. Freedom to express themselves was the top priority. You’ll definitely want to see the red dress, awesomely dapper suit, 1000 cranes at the BBQ reception, and super personalized and intimate touches everywhere.

Sea monster hair!

“Sea monster hair” inspired Alex & Greg’s peacock fairy tale wedding

Seeing this bride’s hair will probably get you clicking, but just in case that wasn’t enough: wait until you see all the blue and purple details, peacock feathers, fabulous “something borrowed” jewels, and DIY hand-encrusted Swarovski shoes. You’ll also love this couple’s solution for missing some photos at their original ceremony site.
