We’re bowled over by this creative wedding in Seattle (with a hand-dyed dress!)

Dana and John’s space-y and creative wedding had some seriously intricate and beautiful details. There were constellations at every table, a huge and ornate chuppah made of paper, and the highlight of our lives: Dana’s hand-dyed wedding dress. We could go on, but hey, we’ve got the whole story from the bride! Let’s take a peek at all the details plus lots of commentary from the couple…

Epic battles and rainbow bubbles at this lightsaber wedding in Seattle

Natalie and Jake’s wedding was an intergalactic celebration of cosmic proportions. Their love for Star Wars played a big role. There were lightsaber battles among the wedding party and an impromptu sing-along of “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” by Aerosmith during the photos. Teleport us back to this fun, please!

These two cosmically radical people were destined to give us heart eyes with their space-themed wedding in Seattle.

This pair wanted a low-key rustic wedding that was focused on spending as much quality time with friends and family as possible. It was kind of like a grown-up slumber party with most of the attendees staying on-site in cabins for the weekend. The venue at this Olympic National Park wedding has a charitable side that meshed with their goals, too. You’ll want to see this loveliness.

This intimate beach wedding in Seattle gives a whole new meaning to do-it-yourself

Self-catered, at-home, handmade dress, homemade food? Yep, this is one wedding that knows how to DIY. Rachel and Ari were set on having a very small and intimate beach ceremony in Seattle with only close friends and family (less than 20 total!). They used a local park’s beach and their own apartment rooftop to save on venue costs and make everything personal. Plus, the beach provided perfect views of the mountains, the water, and the city. The best part? Rachel made and hand-dyed her own blue dress out of silk!

Gabrielle and Laura’s Seattle wedding day started off with a bang with some high-flying first look photos at at Emerald City Trapeze. Their custom-made dresses, book paper flower bouquets, and luminous chuppah were a total highlight, but the reception at Urban Light Studios also had an ice cream bar, traditional hora, and tons of string lights.

This Janelle Monae meets Michael Jackson bridal suit is KILLING IT with style

The bride, Rian, wore a beautiful custom suit from Duchess Clothier with three different pairs of shoes, including a pair of light-up Hover Kicks. She said her inspiration was Janelle Monae with a nod to Michael Jackson. It’s our wedding suit DREAM. Don’t miss Rian and her father wowing everyone with their dance to Janelle Monae’s “Tightrope.”
