Olivia & Lawson’s Old Town Prague wedding that almost wasn’t

You’d think that eloping would make things less stressful. But when airlines cancel two flights due to a giant snowstorm, getting to Prague isn’t exactly the easier option. But this couple persevered, didn’t kill each other, and met their family at their favorite destination, Czech Republic, for the elopement of their dreams.

Holly & James’ handmade winter meditation on love

This wedding takes its direction from a desire to leave a small carbon footprint and to locally-source as much as possible. Having it in the state’s first Platinum LEED-certified building was definitely apropos. The homemade hula hoops, butternut squash soup, and folk music were icing on this Star Trek-topped cake.

Maria & Daniel’s snowed-in gothic burlesque wedding

When you’re gamers, metalheads, and all-around cool people, you can make an equally cool wedding with gothic details, a lovely black gown, and burlesque performers. But this pair also had to deal with mountains of snow keeping their guests trapped at home! Good thing they knew how to live stream it all from their laptop. Technology saves the day!

Paper snowflake boutonnieres for your wintery budget wedding

I have so many wintery wedding projects up my sleeve, but this week all my money for materials was zapped by those gifts I bought for my loved ones! Winter brides, you might be in the very same boat, so I decided to go with another cost-effective craft: paper snowflake boutonnieres.

A montage of weddings from all four seasons and one nifty Jane Austen how-to

As we near the end of the year, the Offbeat Flickr Pool seemed to cover all of the year’s celebrations and seasons. It felt nice to see some warmth and sun (for those of us in chilly climates).

Kisså & Todd’s morning garden party wedding

These two had awesome goals: stress-free day, guests enjoying their “quirky little world,” and be comfortable. They managed all of that while still creating a beautiful outdoor ceremony and cozy party with a bunch of touching moments and lots of blissed-out looks. It’s happy-sappy and I looove it.
