Pixellated Save the Date video full of ’90s nostalgia
We’ve seen a LOT of Save the Date videos, so many that I’m a jaded asshole about them. Maybe it’s because I’m a child of the ’90s, but this one just killed me in all the best ways…
Your fantasy-loving hearts will explode from the pop culture references in this cake
We’ll be featuring Sarah and James’ colorful and geeky U.K. wedding soon, but we couldn’t wait to show you their fandom-fantastic Hobbit-meets-Labyrinth-meets-Watership-Down cake made by the obviously talented folks at Black Cherry Cake Company! There are a metric ton more references going on, so get ready for the run-down. Don’t forget to say ‘allo to the tiny worm from Labyrinth peeking out on the bottom left, which may be the cutest version EVER.
How to make a Portal Companion Cube card box

Sarah & Nathaniel’s “A Love For All Of Time and Space” wedding
A life-size TARDIS, a TARDIS cake, a Doctor Who officiant, and loads of sci-fi details… you space-theme lovers are in for a treat. Add in the convertible gold dress, the DIYed heart backdrop, and the heart-melting father/daughter waltz, and you’ll see how sweet sci-fi can be. Oh, and this bride has some SERIOUSLY good anecdotes for taking on too much and asking for help.
