Sonya & Mark’s cinematic retro theater wedding
This pair needed a very specific venue, and a trip to their favorite movie theater gave them the epiphony they needed: a wedding at the movie theater with a retro Hollywood theme! Queue the popcorn and champagne, James Bond-looking groom, victory rolled-ladies, and movie trailer ceremony preview. Just don’t score them too low for the predictable ending (happily ever after, naturally).
Katherine & James’ barefoot eco-friendly forest wedding
This week we’re letting our hair down and getting back to nature in the wild, wild outdoors! Today we’ve got a barefoot couple in the forests of Piccadilly with rainbows, a teepee, and one very fun Kombi. They managed to make it all happen while compromising with a religious family, coaxing a van into carrying a clown car-load, and dealing with a very naughty bird at the ceremony.
Aussie brides, a drag queen host, and a 100-year-old tree
This week’s back-to-nature theme would not be complete without Marie and Prue’s wedding under a 100-year-old turpentine tree at a fabulous estate called (what else) The Turpentine Tree in Kurrajong, NSW, Australia. And the photo of Prue’s granddaughter’s fist-pumping approval? Perma-smile engage.
A backwards wedding with two purple dresses and a sweet sing-along
Tash and Jules’ Tasmanian wedding at Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm was a bit backwards, in the best sense: the reception came before the ceremony! And of course, the party continued after the ceremony, so it was like two parties in one (with two purple dresses, no less!). Tash sang a sweet song to Jules at the reception: “Hey Jude” became “Hey Jules,” and EVERYONE joined in, including the venue crew. Let’s just let Tash herself explain how that felt. OH, and wait until you get a load of the LEGO cake.
Leah & Jaime’s Friday the 13th dance-fest wedding
A Friday the 13th wedding with a zombie-inspired ceremony, and skull details (including matching tattoos!) — this means a pretty rad and gothic wedding with tons of gorgeous touches. And wait until you get a load of their reception dance-fest details: an LED dance floor AND a must-see Dance Dance Revolution arcade setup, which led to a most excellent impromptu group dance to Grease songs!
Aussie anime lovers tie the knot
One thing you must know about this couple, Karl and Kristina, is that they had this engagement shoot. Yep, that’s a cosplay of the anime series The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, which was a shared interest when they met. Their wedding, while not an exercise in cosplay, totally had veins of their anime love throughout (including the main characters of their favorite show as the cake toppers!).
