Karly & Edward’s fantasy-inspired forest wedding
A fairy-lit forest, a misty first dance, geektastic references to Lord of the Rings, The Legend of Zelda, and Chronicles of Narnia, a photo scavenger hunt, and a Christian meets Celtic ceremony — this wedding is a fantasy dream. Oh, and don’t miss their classic VW getaway!
#TeamGingerlevelsup: Sarah & Geoff’s 8-bit video game wedding
What do Megaman, Mario, Kirby, and the Blue and Green Lanterns have in common? THIS WEDDING. That’s right, we’ve got an 8-bit bonanza happening over here. Get ready for LEGO centerpieces, a retro Game Boy photo booth, a Zelda ring chest, the most awesome Mario-themed cakes we’ve seen, and a kick-ass costumed bachelor/ette party. #TeamGinger is so leveling up!
Jess & Casey’s dark, snowy fairytale in the mountains wedding
We don’t even know where to start with this gorgeous shindig in the mountains of Colorado. You HAVE to see the dark, elegantly goth fashion (and makeup on the bride and groom), the nature-sourced, video game and movie-themed decor (Skyrim! Game of Thrones! Snow White and the Huntsman!), the snow-capped backdrops, and super awesome guest book idea that we’ve never seen before.
