A retro musical wedding with 1960s revival & rock ‘n’ roll inspiration
Music is a huge part of our lives and I let the artists who inspire us most influence the design. We drank whiskey from tea cups and had the processional set to "Fawn" by Tom Waits. His lyrics were tucked in here and there. I weaved in my love of kitsch and vintage by collecting mix and match china for 200 people (it took almost two years!) and featured a unique, cool set of vintage salt and pepper shakers on every table. We had whiskey bottles (all enjoyed with friends and family) and vintage vases that we collected for flowers.
Go beachside with this relaxed boho wedding in Australia
Jessica and Patrick met on the dance floor of their local pub on a Christmas Eve, and when it came time to propose, Patrick recreated their first date right down to the car he was driving at the time. The goal of this beachside wedding in Australia was a relaxed kind of boho theme with endless fairy lights, and they celebrated their unity late into the night at the Chelsea Yacht Club.
Don’t miss the bride’s gorgeous dress, the groom’s luscious hair, and the dance floor snacks I’m still thinking about…
Be swept away by this romantic & glam Paris elopement
Ariel and Lucas blew us away with their straight-from-a-movie glam Paris elopement. With chic outfits, a gorgeous Parisian day, and a proposal story that will leave you breathless, I can’t wait to share this wedding with you.
We got the details from the couple themselves…
A modern Tuscan black tie wedding with plenty of DIY and style
The theme to our wedding was modern, Tuscan black tie. We had champagne taste on a beer and butter budget. We splurged on the picture perfect venue and catering, but everything else you see was DIY. I hand crafted everything from flowers to centerpieces and signs to decor. They say every wedding has at least one planning nightmare. Mine happened to be the biggest nightmare for me ever. The store I purchased my dress from went BANKRUPT and closed its doors just eight weeks before my wedding!
A goth meets nerd meets glam wedding with on-site ring tattoos
We had an overall gothic Halloween wedding, with comic and hockey-themed aspects. Our short ceremony had music by the Smiths, The Cure, and Type O Negative, as well as an officiant dressed as a friar. The ceremony highlighted with nerdy themes including, but not limited to, X-Men, Star Wars, Stardust, Princess Bride, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Lord of the Rings.
A glam & rustic Friday the 13th wedding
Kevin and I wanted to make sure our wedding was a representation of ourselves. We had planned on having the wedding in October once we got engaged and when we discovered there was a Friday the 13th in October 2017, we knew it was meant to be. Our wedding was Friday the 13th inspired with a dark yet natural vibe. The Codman Estate was the perfect mix of stunning natural scenery and modern convenience (bathrooms inside!). I wore a black dress (my dream) that I got at Macy's for under $150 which was a bonus for a thrifty maven.
