Two gamers tie the knot at a Zelda forest-themed wedding
Courtney and Brian share a love of nerding out with video games, so a Legend of Zelda forest-themed wedding at Ramekins in Sonoma, California was the order of the day. They ran into some issues with rain and weren’t sure if their outdoor wedding was going to go as planned. Thankfully, the rain stopped long to get mostly through the wedding.
Then it was gaming, dancing, and eating some fab birch-themed cake! Let’s peek at this geektastic meets elegant wedding…
A rustic zodiac inspiration shoot in the foothills of Colorado (with a surprise vintage VW!)
This zodiac inspiration shoot was driven by constellation imagery with purples, gold, and a touch of galactic pink. Geometric and star shapes were used throughout, from the bride’s hairpieces, to the geometric wedding arch, to the table decorations, and geode cake. Don’t miss the bride’s loose bouquet of wildflowers and sage and the surprise gold vintage Volkswagen that happened upon the scene without any planning!
A rural California rock ‘n’ roll family wedding under the stars
Sarah and Michael married on June 21, 2017 in rural Covelo, CA. The couple chose to get married at Sarah’s family home, where they first met, and where Sarah gave birth to their daughter, Maddie. The ceremony began with the groomsmen and bridesmaids having a dance-off down the aisle, and, as Sarah began to walk down the aisle, one of Michael’s friends surprised him by taking the mic and singing “Kiss the Girl” from The Little Mermaid, which then led to the entire audience singing along.
Let’s take a peek at this rock ‘n’ roll family wedding under the stars…
A dreamy, handcrafted fall farm wedding in the Catskills
Lauren and Olivia (aka “Chicken”) had the most dreamy farm wedding with epic views of the Catskill Mountains. We’re talking rustic nature-inspired centerpieces, a rich autumn color palette, and a a rainbow effect in the bridesmaids dresses.
Don’t miss the farm animals milling about, the lawn games, the handcrafted details, Olivia’s chicken cufflinks(!), and these two gorgeous people in love…
A 1950s-inspired rustic vintage craft beer wedding
I love ’50s-inspired everything so my dress was tea-length and my makeup was more of a pin-up look with a birdcage veil and victory roll. We also really looked for an off-the-beaten-path location in New Jersey, which is not so easy! We settled on the Prallsville Mills in Stockton, NJ which is an old grist mill. Our ceremony was in the saw mill. We are also huge craft beer fans, so our tables were covered with hop leaves and our centerpieces were our own personal growlers. I tried to do a lot of DIY with decorating the pallets and using old windows for signs and the seating arrangement.
A rustic music festival wedding in the towering redwoods
A ceremony beneath towering redwoods. A giant rainy parade (with colorful parasols!) from ceremony to reception led by an epic brass band. Bad-ass live music into the wee hours. A couple who both jumped in to join the bands! Yep, it was just as awesome as it sounds.
In addition to the redwoods at Pema Osel Ling, there were cabins, camping, and hula hooping in a wedding dress. Megan and Dave were tearful, joyful, and music festival vibes were everywhere. Don’t miss the brollies, gorgeous cakes, and face cut-outs on the dance floor!
