Elizabeth & Crys’ vintage-inspired peacock mountaintop wedding
Peacock feathers, vintage glass, a super gorgeous mountain venue, and two lovely ladies getting hitched — this is one to see, folks. They may have had some issues carting guests around the mountain, but it was all worth it just to listen to the brides’ original song composed for the wedding!
Jade & Jonathan’s down-to-earth backyard wedding
A painted mailbox, an adorably awkward bride/grandfather walk down the aisle, and a top-your-own doughnut bar — oh hell yeah, this wedding is Fun City. This wedding also has one of the funniest moments we’ve read about in awhile. Let’s just say there was a really big mix-up in locations.
Mihaela & Mitko’s two-part Paris-themed Bulgarian wedding
A Francophile wedding in Bulgaria? Yes indeed. And we’re bringing along two dresses (one crocheted, the other Paris-themed!), a macaron cake, and loads of pitkas (Bulgarian bread). It’s a total mash-up of Western traditions, Bulgarian traditions, and altogether offbeat Bulgarian awesomeness. Don’t miss the bride’s valiant attempt at a horo dance, too.
Courtney & Sam’s colorful hip-hop garden party
Instilling their love of color and music, this wedding-turned-garden party concert was even fun for passersby. Mixing traditions like jumping the broom and smashing the glass only added to the facets of awesome you’ll find. Turn on some Janelle Monae and rock out to this musical shindig.
Rachel & Russ’ queer bluegrass brunch wedding
Did someone say “gorgeous outdoor lawn games and square dancing wedding?” Yeah, I just knew you were thinking about it. Well get on board with this one: croquet, cigars, bow ties, and the couple handing out ice cream. Plus, you’ll love the ceremony structure and big ol’ singalong at the end. To what song, you ask? RING OF FIRE!
Angi & Bret’s polyamorous backyard wedding
You may remember this bride from her post about choosing to marry her boyfriend while legally married to her husband. Now we’ve got the whole story of how it went down, including the bride’s husband catering a vegetarian meal, the handcrafted ceremony and vows, and the true meaning of what makes a “real” wedding.
