Bandmates become lifemates at this music-centric wedding in Pennsylvania

Band mates become life mates at this musical wedding in Pennsylvania

Megan and Jeff were bandmates who became lifemates at their musical wedding. Megan wore her mother’s dress, and they spoke personal and sacred vows. The unique museum space reception had vinyl slingin’ DJs, which was perfectly appropriate since they fell in love in their own band, The Wild Hymns. They even wrote and played a song together instead of a first dance.

Retro style lovers will go wild for this mid-century modern wedding

Mid-century modern interior decor and fashion has been on-trend and we haven’t been able to gobble it up fast enough. Thank the stars we got to see this killer vintage mid-century modern wedding.

You’ll see billy ball centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres, an architectural cake, and the fashion… oh, the fashion! You’ll dig Kaitlin’s cocktail-length dress and sweet birdcage veil (plus bonus reception veil!). By all “Eames,” you must see this retro-fab wedding…

You NEED to see this vintage circus wedding that wins every ribbon

Fair warning: this wedding has SO MANY amazing details that you may need to scan through it more than once to catch it all. It’s a vintage circus wedding that slays all others. From their gorgeous invitations to the fire dancers and performers, it was a spectacle from start to finish. Cash, Tasha, and their stellar vendor team took red draping, parasols, and big top decor and made White Ranch into the circus venue of their dreams… and ours!

Don’t miss the red ribbon place cards, popcorn bar, sushi catering, chic-as-hell cake, and ruffle-collared puppers that led the way…

A barefoot travel-themed camp wedding

A barefoot travel-themed summer camp wedding (with breakfast buffet!)

Caitlinn and Luke were married atop a huge rock in a beautiful, sunny clearing. The day proceeded with happy tears and bare feet. They incorporated their love of travel (especially to Africa) in their decor and theme. Instead of giving away something small as favors, they had glass jars with Beta fish in them next to three different charitable organization’s write-ups. The guests could take a pebble and pick which organization they wished receive a donation in their names.
