Elizabeth & Jeff’s vintage whimsical handmade flower wedding

Just looking at all of the handmade flower arrangements at this wedding makes me have sympathy DIY finger pain. But man, does it look awesome. With a vintage dress made for twirling, honey favors, and beaded bouquets, this is one whimsical wedding.

Holly & Seth’s high-fiving museum wedding with a broken foot

Interactive invitations, balloon guitars, high-fiving, and dancing all night, despite a bride with a broken foot! But at least you can still shimmy the night away from the waist up. This wedding has a lot of color, a lot of graphic design fun, and one grandma you just can’t keep down.

Valery & Jon’s buttons and games sweet tooth wedding

These two love sweets, their pug, buttons, Dexter, and each other. Take all these elements, put them in an awesome neon-clad venue, and get the games going. Just try and keep those kiddies from shooting straight for DA CANDEH BAR!

Liz & Joseph’s rainbow flowery garden wedding

The groom’s parents own a garden center, so these two jumped at the chance to have a foliage-filled space to host their wedding. With a ROYGBIV backdrop of rainbow murals and a rainbow-clad wedding party (including a wiener dog in a yellow tux), you just can’t go wrong.

Charis & Jarrell’s serendipitous Anglo-Catholic homemade wedding

These two eco-friendly, tea-loving cuties had a DIY-filled ceremony and reception in a church with a cupcake bar and a live music jam session. Family is really important to them and it totally shows in the details. Plus, Charis’ groom’s two left feet are adorable.

Amanda & Daniel’s rainy with a chance of cinnamon rolls wedding

It’s a good thing the mothers convinced these two to get a tent or they’d have been playing in the puddles all night long. But no parades were rained on, and the party was started with a pig roast, a giant cinnamon roll, some personal touches, and a roaming kitteh. You will like this adorable Virginia wedding on a budget.
