Are you endeavoring to make your own flowers for your wedding? Well then, you must be nuts. I myself am in that same boat. I’ve scoured the internet looking for coffee filter flower tutorials. I’ve found some good ones, and I’ve sort of combined them all into my own method. Let me tell you how I made these, because I’ve made about 24,145 of them, and I want you to join me in madness.

Allison & Chris’ post-apocalyptic carnival 75 feet underground

First we’ve got midway games, fire performances, and balloon animals. Then there’s an underground cold war museum bunker, Fallout-themed decor, and post-apocalyptic catering. It’s a fusion of carnival and the apocalypse that we can totally get behind! That doesn’t even cover the fabulously redesigned heirloom dress and 3D-printed rings. And just wait until you see what happened with the helicopter ring delivery.

Meghan & Kristian’s local-loving paper flowers wedding

Paper flowers, local friendors, and a love for their hometown make this wedding hit home. Plus, this bride took two vintage dresses and made her own dove grey dream dress with 70 years of history. And we will all learn at least one thing from this wedding: keep the dance floor splits to a minimum or face the crotch consequences!

Michelle & Lucas’ DIY literary wedding with the 10th Doctor

The Day of the Doctor is coming in honor of Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary. What better way to relish one of our fave fandoms than to have a Doctor Who theme week? Today we’ve got a pair with a penchant for books, comics, and of course, the 10th Doctor! The groom even wore his signature suit. They both wore Chucks, carried Sonic Screwdrivers, and had a lovely handfasting to boot.

Carmen & Grant’s weekend getaway “crocodiles on safari” wedding

When a crocodile invites himself to the wedding, you pretty much have to show him a good time… or else! And these two totally did that with their South African dishes and Amarula, the bride’s awesome gossamer wings, the Harry Potter ring book, and the sweet wine box ceremony. Check out the rest of the wedding and keep an eye out for various fauna that might be on the loose.
