Get the hankies for this bird-loving, double rainbow-blessed barn wedding
Our wedding was rustic and relaxed. We are avid birders (in a really hip, appropriate-for-30-somethings kind of way), so we included small bird-related details wherever we could. We snuck feathers into our boutonnieres and centerpieces, our cake toppers were a sweet pair of lovebirds, our table "numbers" were antique-framed Sibley's bird postcards and each of us referenced our shared love for birding together in our vows.
Villains in love: A happily ever after for Maleficent & the Evil Queen
BilliJo and Chasidie rocked their wedding theme to the fullest: a happily ever after for Maleficent and the Evil Queen, surrounded by other villians of all types, including a Darth Vader officiant!
This chic Halloween wedding had serious style (AND live performances by the groom!)
Jen and Brian had an atmospheric and totally chic Halloween wedding at Turner Hall Ballroom in Milwaukee, WI.
As their ceremony started, so did a smoke machine which gave the space a lovely early morning cemetery feel while the couple stood next to each of their “headstone” columns. There was a gorgeous Nightmare Before Christmas cake, darkly gorgeous centerpieces, black cat shoes, and a to-die-for sweets table.
A traditional Indian wedding meets modern American in a gorgeous rustic setting
“I am a South Indian who moved to the US six years back, and the groom is American, born and raised here. I am from a state in India called Karnataka. In the wedding, we included rituals and decor native to my place while retaining some American traditions.” This couple successfully combined Indian and American cultures to create a pink and gold rustic-meets-elegant wedding in Wisconsin.
A flamingo-filled vow renewal at a renovated brewery (with unity pizza-cutting ceremony!)
Remember Minerva from her insightful guest posts? We’ve got her epic vow renewal that made us love her even more, if that’s possible. This flamingo-filled vow renewal at a 19th-century renovated brewery featured a unity pizza-cutting ceremony, donuts, lots of rosé champagne, and a fun couple’s boudoir shoot!
A curious masquerade wedding of oddities and glamour
The theme started out as just “masquerade,” as I’ve always wanted to have or attend a masquerade ball, but as we began to brainstorm ideas, we started working bits of ourselves into the details. My husband and I have a large collection of antiques and oddities, and we ended up incorporating different pieces from our home into each of the centerpieces and the decor. Thus, “The Curious Masquerade” was born. Maps, medical models, scientific instruments, antique candelabras, and other various things all got (carefully!) flora-fied and bedecked.
