Monica & Clint’s literary garden wedding
This pair had a big surprise just two weeks after getting engaged: the groom was being deployed. And so started the long-distance planning (Florida to Ohio) with a deployed groom to boot! But you’d never know it from the looks of this garden wedding with gorgeous views, literary details, and a superhero ring bearer.
Neil & Amanda’s Renaissance fire and glitter handfasting
These nerdy lovers were seasoned Ren faire folk, so throwing a weekend-long Renaissance celebration complete with a bonfire, live music, hog roast, and fire spinners was a no-brainer. Add in some epic, last-minute garb creation, jewel-toned lanterns, and rings delivered VIA HAWK, and you’ll be loving the historical life. And don’t miss their awesomely hilarious glitter-bombed portraits.
This wedding is all about rain boots, fabric bouquets, and co-written vows pledging eternal love for cats
Holly and Jen rock at crafting: they handmade both of their bouquets and all of the desserts served at their wedding, including the three-tired wedding cake! Yellow and gray clearly ruled the day, as evidenced by the rain boots worn by the brides, the ribbons used for their handfasting, and the crows and bird cages printed on the dessert cookies. The pair bridged sentiment and humor with their co-written vows, including promises to accept each cat brought into their lives and staying together long enough to see what one another’s tattoos look like in old age.
Mari-Anne & Larry’s big fat pagan handfasting
An enchanted forest theme, costumes, homemade mead, and a handfasting… we’re in the mood for some fantastical forest-y love! Add in a giant inflatable D20, some DIY, and a few choice vow alterations, and you’ve got all kinds of fun twists. Plus, you’ll love who walked the bride down the aisle!
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.
