Karly & Steve’s artsy and crafty upcycled wedding

A certain superstorm may have wreaked havoc in the days before this wedding, but they pulled it all together somehow with the help of friends (and a new “BYOC: Bring Your Own Cupcakes” clause!). We’re really thankful they did, because we did not want to miss the amazing Wai-Ching dress, gorgeously-coiffed dreads, adorable family sand ceremony, and all of the DIY projects. Oh, let’s not forget the Harry Potter-inspired saxophonist/magician and impromptu break dancing on the dance floor.

Sara & Mike’s sunny secret garden vegan wedding

Doctor Who themed run up the aisle? Check. Toast from the matchmakers, complete with sashes? Check. Super-sparkly gold reception dress to dance like crazy in? Double check. Oh, and the sunny secret garden behind the enchanting garden gate? Inspiring… but not quite as full of joy as the sunny secret hug behind the wall. So much joy!

Amanda & Kaleb’s tattooed lakeside wedding

A wedding planning bride, heartfelt vows, a gorgeous lakeside ceremony, and a dessert buffet that will make you hungry: this wedding is a feast for the eyes. Even with a budget, they knew how to prioritize what matters to them. Oh, and definitely check out the bridesmaids in boots! So adorable.

Alyssa & John’s homemade Oktoberfest barbecue in Amish Pennsylvania

Apples and pigs and pickles, oh my! This Oktoberfest barbecue wedding is full of food, but the nods to personal passions steal the show. What happens when two chefs love Eagles football, Rocky, apples, pie, and each other? A very Pennsylvania wedding, rain and/or shine.
