A tiny party for humans, cats, and Bigfoot at a CAT LOUNGE

We canceled the planning of the big wedding and decided to elope with one friend and an awesome photographer. We held out cat lounge wedding at Purrington’s Cat Lounge.

It was a day of cats, chocolate cake, sprinkles, and one of our faves, Bigfoot!

Lauren & Lauren's sweet and laid-back wedding at a historic synagogue

Lauren & Lauren’s sweet and laid-back wedding at a historic synagogue

This laid-back two-bride wedding in Madison, Wisconsin got us right in the feels. We were able to snag the whole story from the brides, Lauren and Lauren(!), and it’s amazing. Think two special venues, lots of community support, sustainability, and loads of personal details. But let’s let the two Laurens (differentiated by “taller Lauren” and “shorter Lauren” here) explain…

Bring a date or go stag: just get yourself to this nostalgic PROM-THEMED wedding

It’s time to relive your high school years (or get a kick-ass REDO!) at this retro-tastic PROM-THEMED wedding. Just to whet your appetite: Christy and Stuart were crowned bride and groom, they wore sashes, roses, and crowns, and even rocked the “surprise” of it all. The guestbook was — you guessed it — a YEARBOOK. There was a balloon arch, prom poses at the photo booth station, a pink stretch limo, corsages, and it was all held in an actual high school gym (winner for wedding venue we hadn’t yet seen!).

Whether you remember your high school years fondly or not, you can’t deny the nostalgic magic of this throwback wedding in all its prom glory. Grab some punch, spike it with something good, and get ready to party, prom-style…

Superheroes, comic books, and an heirloom dress slayed us at this California wedding

Superheroes, motorcycles, & an heirloom dress slayed us at this Pasadena wedding

Osdael and Breseida’s Pasadena wedding was completely customized to their personalities, including showcasing their love of motorcycle riding by replacing their guestbook with their personal motorcycle helmets. That’s one way of keeping everyone on your mind, literally. They both tied in their love of superheroes in to the cake, cupcakes, and the groomsmen’s cufflinks and socks. Y’all know we love a good comic book and superhero wedding! Hulk smash that cake.

Have tea at this vintage-inspired wedding with the “dress-cued” vintage dress of our dreams

When a vintage fashion blogger, Frances, married her sweet husband, Doug, we couldn’t stop ogling their fashion, tender looks, and amazing venue. They’re both choir singers and had a Catholic ceremony followed by a relaxed brunch reception at the historic Community House of Hamilton, MA, which included tea and games.

Prepare yourself to witness the $50 vintage dress Frances was able to “dress-cue” into this current amazingness. Those sleeves, that collar, her hairstyle! And Doug’s tie matches it all perfectly. We have so much love for this vintage-inspired wedding in Massachusetts.

Black outfits and ring tattoos at this Boston City Hall elopement

Kathleen and Eric scrapped their traditional wedding plan and decided to get married at Boston City Hall on a warm October day, have their favorite artist tattoo their rings, and celebrate with drinks at a bar. And this suited Kat and Eric way better — the ones who love shopping for spooky things in Salem, drinking good beer, and walking through the woods together.
