Join Willow & Chris on their tour of Philly and retro bowling lounge wedding

A purple swing dress, Irregular Choice shoes, a grand tour of awesome places in Philadelphia, a quaich ceremony, and a retro bowling alley reception? This wedding has so much 1950s nostalgia going on to transport us directly there. Add in the geeky and pop culture touches like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, and their amazing music choices and we’re all totally won over.

Bryne & Becky’s penny-wise Humanist wedding

This wedding has beautiful DIY touches like sheet music wreaths, ceremony backdrop bunting, an adorable sweets table, and loads of super talented friendors. But it wasn’t all cute touches and sentiment… there was also a zombie piñata, which revealed the groom’s true feelings on them.
