A magical and bookish Harry Potter wedding with a golden snitch cake

I may be biased, but I do so love a Harry Potter wedding. Allyson and Casey had some awesome details for it: book pages wrapped around candles, tables named after places in the novels, the Sorting Hat, and even a SNITCH CAKE!

This gay wedding at a children’s museum wins the internet today

Daniel and Sauce were the first LGBTQ wedding at the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. And let me tell you, their adorableness combined with that epic venue means this wedding will not disappoint. I had a perma-smile the entire time I looked at these photos. Daniel and Sauce are magnetic with their obvious love, match-y glasses, bow ties, and suspenders, and infectious laughter.

Kelly & Andrew’s small and simple Tuesday wedding

With the goal of keeping things simple, budget-friendly, and personalized, these two managed to pull off a sweet and small wedding (with only a few minor hiccups along the way!). Heavy metal, wrestler themes, and movie soundtracks were the musical backdrop for the alt model marrying the independent wrestler. Add in a little color, a little candy, and some knocked-out groomsmen and you’ve got the jist.

Sarah & Rhett’s 1930s Art Deco winter wedding

1939 was the backdrop for this romantic wedding with a Quaker ceremony. With tons of flowers, immaculate decor, and a fabulous venue, it is easy to see the love that went into the planning. Plus, the reception had era-appropriate cocktails that seemed to make people ready to party — even the bride’s mom. This era-inspired theme week is rocking my world!

Shannon & Fran’s 1920s era vegan-friendly potluck wedding

A 1920s-inspired wedding… but not in Gatsby style? Hell yes. This couple embraces their more humble beginnings with an intimate and laid-back celebration like their grandparents might have had. This included some vegan-friendly pot luck, old timey penny candy, vintage-style dresses and pocket watches, and super chic lavender and wheat bouquets.
