Anne & Stew’s happy hippie hoedown cross-country wedding
This pair had a sweet, tiny redwood forest elopement, but it didn’t end there. They then went on an cross-country party marathon with all of their family and friends in New Jersey, NYC, Texas, and California! Think Austin hokey-tonk bar, Jewish deli catering, a Deadhead-inspired barn dance, and a special guest: Mel the CAMEL. You have to see it to believe it.
Charmaine & Chris’ vintage diner and opera house wedding
After first meeting outside of a retro diner, these two had one of their two ceremonies at that same diner. I fell in love with the bride’s custom-made lacy, layered dress, three-generation photo, and multi-colored sweater. The men of the wedding party looked mighty spiffy in their bow ties and argyle, too. On top of it all, they were able to stay under a pretty tight budget with two ceremonies and a restaurant reception.
Kelly & Andrew’s small and simple Tuesday wedding
With the goal of keeping things simple, budget-friendly, and personalized, these two managed to pull off a sweet and small wedding (with only a few minor hiccups along the way!). Heavy metal, wrestler themes, and movie soundtracks were the musical backdrop for the alt model marrying the independent wrestler. Add in a little color, a little candy, and some knocked-out groomsmen and you’ve got the jist.
Julie & Paul’s farm fresh and sassy wedding
After two years of life and natural disasters delaying the wedding, these hunter/gatherers finally tied the knot at their own gorgeous home in Nova Scotia. With their own foliage (and some lingerie!) as decor, a doggie ring bearer, a fake roadkill-style menu, an actual seafood dinner, and the kissy-face couple themselves, I don’t even know what you’ll love most. Let’s just go with everything!
Angi & Erik’s upcycled country barn wedding
This was a wedding with a lot of hidden surprises: I didn’t see the awesome bouquet, brunch buffet, and upcycled window/seating chart until I hit the Flickr set! There is a lot of DIY to see, a few repurposed items (bride’s dress, machinist-made rings!), and a whole lot of sweet details in this countrified barn wedding.
Adrian & Brian’s hippie carnival campout wedding
This wedding brought together the couple’s bohemian/artist/hippie/punk friends for a raucous campout. They may not be the best at RSVPing, but they definitely know how to show up in style. Plus, they were finally able to convince an awesome “Russian/Balkan/marching band meets punk rock dance party” band to play for them!
