simple wedding

Of course “simple” is relative, but these weddings are generally low-key, minimal, and less about decor and accessories. You may also want to check out our archive of small weddings, or our posts about elopement.

Katie & Mike’s small, black, autumn day wedding

II wanted to bring you down gently from the awesomeness that was Halloween Week with Katie and Mike’s super chill, day-time park wedding on Halloween. After being engaged for two years, Katie and Mike planned a small, park elopement in two weeks. This Halloween day wedding featured black dresses, beautiful fall leaves, and, of course, pumpkins!

Janna & Nick’s Motorcycle-themed, whimsical wedding celebration

After seeing Janna’s motorcycle sprocket bouquet (and, for some of us, learning what a sprocket is), we knew that we had to know all about this wedding and the creative, motorcylcle-loving (and, as it turns out, ex-wrestler and theater geek) couple behind it. Some of us (me) also have totally developed friend/mentor crushes on the bride. -Becca

Candace & Erik’s 1930s gal meets ska boy wedding

Candance and Erik has a simple ceremony at the registry office in London. They created a vinage feel with her lovely satin gown and Erik’s pin-stripe suit and hat. Friends from all over the world came to see them wed and Candance rocked a leather jacket and skull ring to keep things ‘her.’

Aryanna & Craig’s vintage, big easy-style wedding/party!

Aryanna & Craig really wanted to have their wedding in their house. However, cramming more than eighty-five people into their humble, little (one-bedroom/one bathroom) home seemed unlikely. But they were determined. With some careful spacial planning and a little re-arranging, they were able to successfully throw a killer wedding and awesome party, New Orleans style!
