Voyage sur la lune: Mike & Shauna’s moon-theme wedding in the sky

Get this: the guests and wedding party members at this mountain wedding entered the ceremony via SKI LIFT! The views alone are killer, but this would be such a rad way to enter a moon-themed wedding. Don’t miss the Earth cake (complete with layers), moon cake, moon photo booth, David Bowie music, and lots of gorgeous DIY details.

Find out what Robert Downey Jr. has to do with Tiara & Paul’s sweet and nerdy wedding

You’re going to have to see to believe the centerpieces at this serendipitously-timed wedding (hint: think Captain America and Iron Man himself). Add in the bride’s adorable outfit, the sweet memorial to the bride’s grandmother, and RDJ-themed pies. Don’t miss the Jenga guest book and killer ceremony reading, too!

Michelle & Ricardo’s multicultural movie geek theater wedding

A little Star Wars in the cake toppers, a little SuperWhoLock in the DIYed bouquet, and a whole lot of pie, paper flowers, and photo booth shenanigans. This wedding even had a taco bar. But our favorite parts were the movie posters redone with the bride and groom. So epic.

Kids, musicians, and a red dress makes Michelle & Sean’s Winter wedding shine

With a community of Seattle musicians at your disposal and Sodo Pop as your venue, music was definitely a theme of this wedding. Add in the sweet times with a blended family and you’ve got some seriously cute moments. But when the bride had to give “her parents” to a friend while she walked up the aisle, things got funny.

Karly & Edward’s fantasy-inspired forest wedding

A fairy-lit forest, a misty first dance, geektastic references to Lord of the Rings, The Legend of Zelda, and Chronicles of Narnia, a photo scavenger hunt, and a Christian meets Celtic ceremony — this wedding is a fantasy dream. Oh, and don’t miss their classic VW getaway!

Get ready for LEGO centerpieces, a retro Game Boy photo booth, a Zelda ring chest, the most awesome Mario-themed cakes we’ve seen, and a kick-ass costumed bachelor/ette party. #TeamGinger is so leveling up!
