A backyard labor of love wedding (with a dream kilt + red dress combo!)

This backyard labor of love wedding is darkly beautiful with rich reds (in hair, clothes, and decor!), an awesome handmade feast, and a courtyard ceremony full of tears and handwritten vows.

Metallic, marble, and chic style: now THIS is fab modern wedding inspiration

Metallic, marble, and chic style: now THIS is fab modern wedding inspiration

We were blown away by the chic style, classy fashion, and amazing Denver Art Museum venue at the styled elopement of real life couple Gabriel and David. Much of the inspiration came from a painting by Zeng Fanzhi at the museum. They cultivated a colorful and sleekly modern style into which we want to sink. Think sharp grays and blues and fresh tidbits of saturated citrus color everywhere.

Come for the art, stay for the shoes (on everyone!), the ultra stylish invites, the metallic marble and geometric cake, and the couple #goals. This is some urban modern wedding inspiration we can get behind…

These backyard brides triumphed with killer suits at their house on the shore

Casey and Stephanie’s chic wedding was hosted in their backyard at the New Jersey Shore in their custom-made suits (by Bindle & Keep!). It was a triumph of style, epic love, AND adversity, as you’ll see. Korean fusion tacos, customized glasses, a homemade Rice Krispies wedding cake, and suits that were the envy of all!

Get ready for the chic-as-hell outfits made this Texas wedding

Tacos, oak trees, and chic-as-hell outfits made this Texas backyard wedding incredible

Steph and Shawna seriously know how to rock coordinated pants outfits like pros. They knew black was more them anyway. On a friend’s property in a grove of oak trees, they had a laughter-filled ceremony including an amazing poem written by a friend. They collaborated with some friends and family to help design the centerpieces, floral arrangements, and cake to make the reception a work of their community. Let’s party alongside these two ladies and their chic style…

A queer winter wonderland wedding

A delightful community-led queer winter wonderland wedding

“Once Trump was elected, we decided that we (along with our friends and family) really needed a good party to restore some much-needed warm fuzzies.” And thus started a seriously sweet winter wonderland wedding full of handmade bouquets, killer readings, a ring bearing dog, and a gorgeous dessert table (which they almost didn’t get to taste!).
