Purple decor and a fantastic fascinator in this chilled-out wedding

I totally loved the feather and flower fascinator in this wedding in Spokane. Their purple decor and focus on incorporating their children was icing on the cake. Check out the fashion and family at this August event.

Moss-covered trees and tiny bees at this orange and green wedding

Seattle’s Urban Light Studios was the setting of this colorful and subtly bee-themed wedding in Seattle. With lovely moss-covered foliage and chic decor, this event had tons of class and lots of eclectic touches… plus a stuffed lion. And since it was held in April, it makes the perfect addition to our spring theme week.

Katy & Aaron’s forest handfasting and dance party wedding

When an intimate forest ceremony becomes a Renaissance-inspired dance party reception, it’s been a good day. The bride handmade books as favors, had tiny terrariums as centerpieces, and they served pumpkin pie, too. So far so good. But the addition of a cardboard deer head is the icing on the cake.

Jamie & Nick’s self-catered Halloween theater wedding

Fog machines rock until they set the fire alarm off. Thankfully this pair had a great attitude and helpful friends to help them pull of their Halloween-themed DIY party despite that little setback. And you’ll love their paper burning ceremony to rid them of all their skeletons in the closet. Halloween week rocks!
