MJ & Josh’s wildlife sanctuary red and gold wedding
This isn’t a Game of Thrones red wedding, but it definitely is a RED RED WEDDING! A vivid crimson dress, shiny gold and red cake, and red crystal bouquets make it a much happier occasion. But if you’re planning to live stream your wedding, these two have a really important tip for you…
Distance between wedding ceremony and reception: How far away is too far?
I’ve realized, though, that the place where I would love to have the reception is over half an hour away from the church. I’m guessing this would be a big drive, especially for the out-of-towners (and there are a lot). Is that too much of a distance to ask my guests to travel? I don’t want to be “that wedding we went to where we had to drive so far to have dinner!”
Rick & Emma’s giant sci-fi rock ‘n’ roll wedding
This pair brings the house down at their huge wedding with live bands, sci fi details (including an amazing photo booth!), gorgeous music hall venue, and even a Klingon love poem at the ceremony. PLUS, the groom planned the wedding himself and has the battle scars to prove it. Check out this space age dance party in Brooklyn.
There is no such thing as a DIY wedding
When we first got engaged, we had several long discussions about whether or not to elope and avoid the party aspect altogether. We finally decided to go ahead and throw a small party, but with one overarching principle: We were going to do the whole thing ourselves. But the flaw in our DIY system, I found, was the “Y.”
Play dress-up to help guests with their wedding attire
My fiancé and I are getting married in a field in November. We wanted our guests to be dressy but comfortable, so we included inserts in our invitations to give guests a heads-up that they should try to look nice but bring sweaters and avoid the high heels and ball gowns. But… it just caused confusion. To remedy the confusion, my sister and I played dress-up!
Toni & Nam’s offbeat lite garden wedding with monsters and games
We know that our brides run the gamut on how much they want to be involved in the wedding planning. This bride took it one step further and let her mom plan 99% of it! And their personalities totally shined through in their gamer geek music choices, colorful monster details (including Frankenstein shoes!), and choices in board games for the reception.
