We love it when a bride shows off some leg! This is where we talk short wedding dresses, y’all. They come in every color — red, blue, green, black, even multi-colored) — and they’re all about making brides feel fabulous!

An amphitheater wedding in Colorado with gratuitous dog adorableness

Dayna and Jason’s Colorado wedding had so much going for it: Dayna’s short and sweet dress, Jason’s Boston tie, their walk down the aisle together, the amphitheater setting with a view we can’t even handle right now, and GRATUITOUS DOGGY SHOTS! This pooch is walking down the aisle, front-and-center at the ceremony, and then falling asleep in the middle. We are bowled over with cuteness. Then it’s on to the reception where there’s carb-loading and robin’s egg centerpieces.

Elizabeth & Adam’s rock ‘n’ roll destination beach wedding

Small, affordable, a vacation (and total party!), and all rock ‘n’ roll? That’s a wedding we can handle! Add in a fabulous red and black vintage dress, some first-time parasailing, and some barefoot on the beach vows, and you’ll be ready to sink your own feet in this wedding sand. Even a last-minute date change couldn’t squash the fun.

An intimate Beverly Hills courthouse elopement featuring a whole lot of YELLOW

Cullie and Chris recently eloped at the Beverly Hills Courthouse with a celebration that placed a lot of emphasis on YELLOW and we’re talking everything from the groom’s tie to the bride’s roses and carnations! Chris is a collector of graffiti art, and after the ceremony the couple wandered around West Hollywood to take photos against many of the area’s fantastically-colored walls.

Holly & Fernando’s teeny tiny Harry Potter renaissance festival wedding

Only a few weeks to prepare, only room for 12 guests… how can they make this work?! Oh, they so did. The small guest list totally fit this introverted couple’s preferences, and the intimate space amid the hustle and bustle of a renaissance fest was fabulously adorable. Add in some Harry Potter colors (Ravenclaws represent!), an “Always” necklace, and “Mischief Managed” rings, and you’ve got the recipe to brew up a love potion for us all.
