brides in glasses

If you wear glasses every day… there’s no rule that says you can’t wear them on your wedding day too! We’ve even got a post dedicated to just fabulous brides in glasses. Obvs, this love ain’t for brides only — grooms rock ’em too.

Books, love, and a lot of DIY at this queer wedding

I knew from the beginning that it was important to me, as a bisexual woman and someone with scoliosis, that I felt beautiful and myself on my wedding day. I dressed like the queer elf queen of my dreams.

At our reception, we had thrifted board games available for people who didn’t want to dance, and some of our friends played Trivial Pursuit all night!

We love the green wedding dress at this alternative atheist wedding

This green wedding dress and bridal cape combination utterly enchants at Cat and Tyler’s alternative atheist wedding. Cat and Tyler made an effort to work with local businesses for their atheist wedding, with a focus on women-owned, BIPOC, and queer-owned wedding vendors.

This meet-cute story turned galaxy wedding is truly our moon and stars

Jacqueline and William’s moon and stars-themed wedding sent us into the galaxy when we saw it. But their meet-cute story is on a whole other level. Just wait until you hear how her galaxy dress went from conversation starter to fab wedding garb.

After 14 years of waiting, these Australian ladies finally had the warm, sparkly, relaxed potluck wedding of their dreams

After 14 years of waiting, these Australian ladies finally had the sparkly potluck wedding of their dreams

We waited over 14 years to get married because Australia took its sweet time to come around to marriage equality, and in that time we really managed to shed pretty much every idea and expectation around what weddings should be that didn't suit or serve us. So our wedding was relaxed, fun, and totally us.

Our very tight budget meant that we opted to go for a potluck over a catered event, and we chose a 'cake and cheese' theme.
