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.

An ode to Offbeat Bride’s most popular shoe of all time

without a doubt, the most popular shoe of all time ever and ever is T.U.K.’s peacock pump. It’s aff-$44-able and cute, and while I don’t see quite as many peacock features at weddings as I used to, small peacock details are still making weddings everywhere more beautiful… and these shoes are a great nod.

But what of T.U.K.’s other shoes?

Martha & Daniel’s low-impact redwoods wedding (with many pretzels!)

Pretzels, a German cup ceremony, and astronauts — what do these things have in common? If you said this locally-focused and low-impact wedding in a super eclectic venue, you were right. Plus, you’ll also get some ultra valuable advice about pre-marital counseling. And don’t forget to spy the burlesque dance at the reception!

Elizabeth & Crys’ vintage-inspired peacock mountaintop wedding

Peacock feathers, vintage glass, a super gorgeous mountain venue, and two lovely ladies getting hitched — this is one to see, folks. They may have had some issues carting guests around the mountain, but it was all worth it just to listen to the brides’ original song composed for the wedding!

Oh, and wait until you read their amazing collection of quotes that was read at the ceremony!
