#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.

How being a gamer helps me win at wedding planning

My love of games came in handy when I was getting incredibly frustrated at wedding centrepieces. I got so miffed that I just had to put everything down and play some Dragon Age: Inquisition (killing some dragons will make me feel better about this!). That’s when I realised: I could gamify my wedding planning.
