Angela & Patrick’s romantic Moulin Rouge-inspired wedding

Inspired by the theater scenes in Moulin Rouge, this pair combined the romance and the setting of the film with their Irish heritage in the ceremony and attire. A bagpiper, some Jones Soda, and a Hollywood screen kiss to remember make this a fabulous party.

This wedding was a big gay dance party in the mountains

Take two men in love, a weekend long party full of dancing, pies, and even Jazzercize, and you get the wedding of Chad and Matt. And any couple who provides parasols, ribbon streamers, and cardboard cutouts for their “gigantic gay discotheque” is aces in my book.

Kristen & Brian’s all access rock ‘n’ roll checkerboard wedding

Backstage passes, favorite bands, and inflatable guitars mean a good time for all at this rock ‘n’ roll-themed bash. The bride even donned a short skirt, fishnets, and white combat boots for the reception. Things might be getting crazy, so take a peek at this wild and woolly wedding while it’s hot.

KissÃ¥ & 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.

Becca & Tara’s Autumn lesbian historic inn wedding

A messed up bustle, RSVP stress, and last minute wedding party changes didn’t get these ladies down. They pulled off a lovely party in a historic inn with rustic Autumn details, customized Converse, and a wedding party in white.

Jessica & David’s offbeat lite meets piñatas and Halloween wedding

A reluctant bride comes full circle in accepting her marriage starting with their awesome Halloween wedding. This couple managed to combine a cemetery, costume favors, piñatas, and a little bit of offbeat lite tradition into this ghoulish party.

The bridal party wore fangs, the officiant dressed as Dark Oberon, and the bride ended up in her sister’s dress. Craziness ensues.
