Robots, I Spy, s’mores, and a secret get-away table

Crystal and Justin’s wedding took place at Molly Ward Gardens in Poulsbo, WA where Justin worked as a teenager. They rocked their favorite themes: robots, the Seattle Sounders, colored glass, and chalkboard art. Plus, there was the added bonus of random wigs at the reception, an “I Spy” game, lots of pie and s’mores, and some kick-ass cheering shots! Oh, and don’t miss the motorboating shot. It’s hot and hilarious.

Scooter & Robert’s small rustic wedding

With a fabulous green house and garden venue, bread baked in flower pots, and a bonfire with s’mores, what could possibly go wrong? Just a too-large guest list. So this pair decided on a family-only celebration with lots of DIYed and adorable log details that totally played off the rustic vibe of the venue. Plus, you’ll love how the bride celebrates her departed dad and her three-generation ring photo.

What can you do to relax and enjoy the night before your wedding?

Can we talk about the night before your wedding? I rented a hotel room for me, my mom, and my maid of honor. I think it would be nice to go out for dinner, and maybe catch a drink in town. I don’t want to do anything too crazy the night before but I want to honor the night somehow. I’m at a total loss. What would YOU do? Or, what DID you do?

Audrey & Hal’s flight and adventure-inspired wedding

This week we’re letting our hair down and getting back to nature in the wild, wild outdoors! And this one is all about an mountain-loving, cliff-hiking, wanderlusting couple in northern Idaho. There is much to love: map flowers, tear-jerking vows, and epic scenery. They even had meaningful cupcake flavors!

Stephanie & Jonathan’s whimsical Calvin and Hobbes wedding

This couple transmogrified their wedding into an ultimate Calvin and Hobbes dance party. Everything from the stationery to the cake toppers had the handwriting look of a stuffed tiger and his favorite boy. You’re gonna love the ring bearer’s striped shirt and the way he hugs his tiger friend in these pictures. Grab your wagon and let’s go look!
