Tara & Chuck’s intimate art gallery budget wedding

Two months to plan and catering-phobic? Now there’s a challenge. But this pair came up with a plan and managed to get amazing pasta and NOM-worthy desserts to their guests’ tummies. They also learned a hard lesson that combining flowers and mini-fridge freezers spells flower disaster. But trust me, none of that made this tiny affair any less awesome.

Stephanie & Dave’s vintage theater Beatles wedding

Anyone think there can be too much Beatles music? Didn’t think so. How about when it’s in the historic Portage Theater in Chicago? Still in? What if they served popcorn at the ceremony and had an acoustic guitar guest book? Okay, I think you’re safe to crush on this one.

Kara & John’s “Taste the Rainbow” candy-colored wedding

Skittles aisle decorations, candy-themed table names, and a candy colored dress? Sounds like a nom-worthy party. This bride pulled a switcheroo on her guests by showing up in a demure white gown and then shocking them all with her wildly colored gown at the ceremony.

Mia & Martin’s backyard teepee party wedding

It’s not a “wedding,” folks, it’s merely “The Party,” set in a teepee in a London back garden! This bride had her heart set on a polka dot retro dress, but she went classic for a mother’s love. Total sweetness found within.
