Bex & Cort’s big queer Jewish wedding

Bex and Cort planned a fab outdoor ceremony complete with lots of traditional and alternative takes on Jewish traditions, and were both fashion plates on top of it. Lots of laughter (including dad’s “presentation” speech and mad emcee skills) and lots of personalization made this day all theirs.

Madeleine & Anton’s two-day pink and black wedding

Over Labor Day weekend, this couple had a very small, private ceremony one day, then an entire day of festivities the next. They had chalk drawing contests, a giant frame photo booth, a big ol’ chocolate heart-shaped cake, and the cutest damned pink and black dress EVAR!

Clare & John’s colourful informal mega-DIYed wedding

DIYing some details is one thing, but this couple self-catered, had all DIY decor, and the bride made and embroidered her own gown. Plus, the groom actually composed and recorded the ceremony music himself! Add in their multicolored theme with the goal of an informal food and games afternoon, and you’re in for a treat.
