A DIY viking wedding with a sword exchange

Angel and Shanti pulled from pagan, Christian, and viking traditions to create their amazing outdoor ceremony. Everything from the groomsmen sashes to the floral arrangements was DIYed. In a super badass move, the couple exchanged swords instead of rings.

This pair wanted a low-key rustic wedding that was focused on spending as much quality time with friends and family as possible.

The venue at this Olympic National Park wedding has a charitable side that meshed with their goals, too. You’ll want to see this loveliness.

This intimate beach wedding in Seattle gives a whole new meaning to do-it-yourself

Self-catered, at-home, handmade dress, homemade food? Yep, this is one wedding that knows how to DIY. Rachel and Ari were set on having a very small and intimate beach ceremony in Seattle with only close friends and family (less than 20 total!). They used a local park’s beach and their own apartment rooftop to save on venue costs and make everything personal. Plus, the beach provided perfect views of the mountains, the water, and the city. The best part? Rachel made and hand-dyed her own blue dress out of silk!
