Theresa & David’s Sonoma County artists’ farm wedding

We don’t even know where to start with this explosion of awesome, so let’s just gush: metal rocket ships, plastic reindeer, vintage arcade games and a jukebox, wine barrels, vintage furniture, antlers, succulents… all DIYed to blissful, farm-raised local perfection.
This couple and their friends are artists and IT SHOWS. The metal ceremony arch the groom made will knock you out, too. Oh, and wait until you hear the coincidence with the sweetheart table chairs!

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.

Baily & Martyn’s DIY rock ‘n’ roll Halloween wedding

If the costumes, kick-ass handmade dress, and three-legged dog dressed as the Black Knight (sans leg, natch) don’t get you, the paper doll-inspired invitation will. And if even that doesn’t get you, the officiant holding “Weddings for Dummies” will. And if THAT doesn’t get you, just wait until you see the band dressed as brides and the slow-dancing Jay and Silent Bob. It’s a smorgasbord of amazingness over here.

Stacie & Kevin’s soulful karaoke wedding

The rain may have threatened this outdoor wedding, but it couldn’t dampen the spirits of these two. The keg and karaoke party must go on! Add in a casual vibe, a fun after-party, some R. Kelly karaoke, and what looks to have been the most fun wedding party photo session ever, and you’re in for lots of smiles.

Jessica & Josiah’s space-themed breakfast-for-dinner wedding

Space: the final wedding frontier. Or you know, a pretty rad frontier with lightsabers in the photo booth, star-covered custom Converse, handmade vanilla extract favors, and breakfast for dinner. It’s like these two read my mind. Oh wait, there’s a donut tower, too? Let’s be best friends, awesome cafe wedding in Maine.
