You won’t have seen anything like this rustic costume wedding with a pancake cake

Travis and Gia are both the adventurous and creative, so they planned a super DIYed rustic costume wedding with Halloween touches (one final hurrah for this season!) and a totally independent spirit. So there were kick-ass decorations incorporating pumpkins, costumes, rustic wood, hot pepper jelly favors, and a PANCAKE CAKE! Plus, I just can’t get over the awesomeness of Gia’s short green dress, tiny lace gloves, and birdcage veil. Oh, and don’t miss Travis’ general hotness in his killer tie.

From the most gorgeous bohemian outfits to the lush forest backdrop, this handmade forest wedding stole our hearts.

Would you rock this vintage-chic ceramic flower bouquet?

We spied these ceramic flowers for bouquets or centerpieces over on Etsy and can’t wait to see ceramic flower bouquets become a thing. We’ve already seen felt flowers (tutorial here!), paper flowers, crystal flowers, brooch bouquets, even pot bouquets, but as of yet, not that many sculpted beauties have crossed our path.

What say you: are you down for a vintage-style multicolored ceramic flower bouquet or are you sticking with the classics? Share your bouquet (or non bouquet!) plans in the comments!

This boho chic wedding fills our senses with joy

This boho chic barn wedding fills our senses with joy

Candice and Kevin rocked their relaxed and intimate barn wedding. With just 30 close family members and friends, everyone felt like they were a part of the action. And boy was it gorgeous action. Spot the Legend of Zelda-inspired jewelry and cake (hell yes, ’90s kids!), boho-inspired dress, and sunset vows at the crest of a hill. Le sigh, this is making my day. Let’s explore the whole boho chic barn wedding.
