An ode to the wedding weekends: weddings that go all weekend long!

A weekend wedding makes your wedding more than just an evening event, or a so-called “special daaaaaay” … it provides your guests with the gift of time. Time not just to eat and drink and dance, but time to talk and sleep and share.

Becki & Jeremy’s Wild West Frontier Wedding

Becki & Jeremy run a wilderness summer camp together. Their wedding reflected this aspect of their lives. They had a fun-filled weekend with lots of outdoor activities: a hike, a 5k run, a bonfire, fishing and their wedding ceremony!

Rebecca & Kain Kaare’s vintage, camp ground, tea party wedding

We were on a very tight budget and ended up spending only $3000 including our wedding clothes, rings, and the honeymoon. We had the wedding party at a campground to save cash. For food, I made alot myself but also got sandwiches from Jimmy Johns because it’s my favorite food. Kaare drew the design for our wedding invitation so we were able to make those ourselves.

We went with an eclectic look; clashing bright colors (mostly orange and paisley), bowls of skittles mingled with tea cups, and cupcake stands we made ourselves out of vintage plates. We also included my husband’s heritage by having a traditional Norwegian wedding cake in addition to the cupcakes.
