Darcy & Charles’ stripey vegan fancypunk wedding

Nom-worthy vegan food, tons of homemade desserts, a gender-blind wedding party covered in stripes, a wild-ass Hora, and perhaps the most excited-looking couple EVAR. That’s what’s in store here. Plus, their dog Lupin saved the day by rescuing the rings!

This couple wanted their wedding to be fun-loving and quirky to match their personalities. Cue the trek into grandma’s attic for awesomely vintage accessories and decor. The groom’s artistic talent definitely worked in their favor too. Add in a vegan Mexican feast and their English Bulldog and you’ve got a backyard wedding with charm.

Roz & Pete’s humanists loving doughnuts and Prince wedding

This couple loves Krispy Kremes, books, vintage cameras, and each other. Do you want to be their BFFs yet? They had two ceremonies (one being of the humanist persuasion), an epic candy buffet, and dress-up costumes for the reception resulting in much hilariousness. The coincidental ceremony mishap is pretty funny too.

Our beach and buttons veggie wedding

On top of the couple’s awesome ink and gorgeous venue (with carousel!), there was also a beach just made for dipping. Not only did the groom’s guys take the plunge, the bride ended up swimming too, dress and all! With a button-y bouquet and vegetarian menu, this was never destined to be your typical beach-side soiree.

Riss & Rick’s black and white New Orleans wedding

As fans of New Orleans and also of smaller weddings, this pair found a destination wedding to be ideal. In Jackson Square, under the shade of the palms, Bloody Mary wielded her Wiccan wonders on the ceremony that included voodoo dolls and burning parchment. After that, it was party time.
