Allow me to introduce you to the S’mores wedding cake

Look what popped up in our Flickr pool — a freaking S’mores wedding cake! I told Tribesmaid Laura that we demanded to know more about her unicorn-topped, campfire treat-inspired wedding cake, and she filled us in on all the gooey details…

Shyn & D’Angelo’s laid-back recycled wedding

Reusing, recycling, and a little dumpster diving totally made this wedding into a low-maintenance cleanup wonder with awesome DIY projects like a wine cork guest book, self-catered picnic noms, and jam jar lanterns. A custom-made dress and Prohibition Era attire made it super stylish on top of that! Add in the lush green ceremony space, and you’ll be googly-eyed for this couple.

Jill & Blair’s small beach wedding with a pregnant bride

Hello, gorgeous beach wedding with a glowing bride and mohawked groom. Add in a LEGO cake, an adorably funny dad officiant, and a grandma who is pro at the “queen’s wave,” and you’ll be smitten with this one. Oh, and you will love the impromptu vows shared the day AFTER the wedding.

EJ & Nathan’s horror movies and octopodes beach wedding

Let me just lay this right here: a tentacle aisle, tentacle bouquets, a pineapple print dress, fold-out fan programs, horror movie centerpieces, and a flesh-eating martian owlopus. You read that right. Oh, and some sage advice meant for a pre-teen that totally applies to all of us. Let us know if you spot the MINGLO, too!

Raina & Michelle’s elegant Disney + Star Wars wedding

We teased this Disney-meets-Star Wars wedding last week and you guys demanded to see MOAR! From their hand-cut rainbow ketubah, Disney and Star Wars mashup decor, lightsaber cake cutters, “Unbreakable Vow” ring book, and overall makes-me-want-to-hug-them adorableness, you’re going to luuuurve it. Oh, and wait until you see how they memorialized their passed loved ones at the ceremony. It didn’t go quite as planned!
