Rachel & Jake’s “Water for Elephants” state fair wedding

If you can resist the lure of this bride’s black shimmery mermaid dress, you are stronger than we are. A vision in black, teal, and red, she slays us with her style. Add that to the sexy groom, 1930s circus theme, and pseudo-elopement strategy, and you’ll be ready to marry these two yourself. Plus, if you’re dealing with photo insecurity, this bride knows how to shut it down and embrace your awesomeness!

Shana & Micah’s Victorian wedding with a dad-moon

Give us a mantilla veil, a mansion filled with light and foliage, a bagpipe anthem at the end of the ceremony, and two lovers who finish each other’s sentences. Oh, and just wait until you see the handmade dad-moon that represented the bride’s father. I’m not crying, you’re crying!

Abby & Steve’s heartfelt friend-powered wedding

If you’re in the mood for GIANT crepe paper flower bouquets, a sweet and impromptu first look, and a couple super obviously and deliriously in love, then this wedding is your jam. Oh, and this bride’s experience with a day-of coordinator (who we know well!), is invaluable. And you’ll love the song that they kind-sorta accidentally danced to for their first dance!

Liz & Marc’s traveling fall circus wedding

Let’s see here: we’ve got a circus theme with a dog dressed as a lion, “boot-in-ears,” a bearded lady, a carousel horse guestbook, a midway full of games, a flash mob ceremony, an after-party with a ball pit, and a footie pajama football brunch the next day. If you can even process all that awesome, you’ll need to make even more room in your brain for the first dance surprise. Hint: a marching band was involved!
