EJ & Nathan’s horror movies and octopodes beach wedding

Let me just lay this right here: a tentacle aisle, tentacle bouquets, a pineapple print dress, fold-out fan programs, horror movie centerpieces, and a flesh-eating martian owlopus. You read that right. Oh, and some sage advice meant for a pre-teen that totally applies to all of us. Let us know if you spot the MINGLO, too!

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.

Jamie & Jon’s three-day summer camp wedding

Let’s reminisce about being a kid with this summer camp wedding complete with crayons, popcorn favors, a “Hershey’s Kiss girl” instead of a flower girl, a camp out with a fire juggler, and an AMAZING pink ruffled corset gown (you may remember from here). Plus, get a load of the adorable matchy-match father and son kilts! My heart… I swoon! All that plus the sweetest groom-gets-teary first look ever.

This is what Kermit and Miss Piggy’s themed wedding looks like!

Offbeat Bride Sarah and her new husband Tim had a straight-up Kermit and Miss Piggy-themed wedding. Now we’ve seen Muppet weddings before, but this is the first time we’ve seen a very specific Muppet wedding.

Yes it’s an air plant wedding bouquet!

Lots of kids + lots of games + lots of time to run around = lots of fun. That’s the theory of this wedding and it TOTALLY worked. Add in the gorgeous venue, two different ceremonies, and lots of DIY, and this community-oriented wedding wins the day. Even though the guest list spiked by 75, these two pulled it together with the generosity of friends (and even a fellow Tribesmaid!).

Klaudia & Roland’s Wonderland in Hungary wedding

Losing your destination venue the day before the wedding is right up there with the most party-ruining things that could happen. But this pair had an in with a local pub and turned a total negative into a big positive! Add in the gorgeous Alice in Wonderland portrait shoot and some heavy metal (and a little Bob Marley) to get you through the day, and we totally know “everything little thing is gonna be alright.”
