Angi & Erik’s upcycled country barn wedding
This was a wedding with a lot of hidden surprises: I didn’t see the awesome bouquet, brunch buffet, and upcycled window/seating chart until I hit the Flickr set! There is a lot of DIY to see, a few repurposed items (bride’s dress, machinist-made rings!), and a whole lot of sweet details in this countrified barn wedding.
An Old Hollywood classic theater same-sex wedding
Becca Dilley Photography sent us this gorgeous same-sex wedding in Madison, Wisconsin, and we were super stoked about the awesome style and INSANELY COOL cake: a huge pedestal with flames and mini-cakes hanging down! The couple also rocked an Old Hollywood vibe with a retro theater venue, the Orpheum Theater.
Sam & Brian’s Jewish camp wedding by the lake
This pair met at summer camp and had the wedding at that same camp years later! So cute. Planning from a distance was a challenge, but with the help of their planner, the outdoor, twinkle lighted ceremony couldn’t have been sweeter. And the sunny summer camp setting made for some amazing shots!
Wildflowers and farmland at this clifftop wedding in Wisconsin
Instead of feeling like a wedding, the goal was “first family reunion.” And after finding an awesome farm locale with hay rides and lawn games, the potluck dessert and flowers came naturally to finish off the event. Despite planning from a state away, these two found help in their friends and family to pull it off. Put on your farm boots and check it out.
Megan & Jay’s last-minute change solstice wedding
Sometimes you plan an intimate NOLA elopement, and sometimes life gets in the way. So when life prevented this couple from doing just that, they decided to plan an elegant hometown wedding with friends and family instead. And this beach-side family party with stone warming ceremony is just perfect for our Simple Weddings week.
Lane & Jason’s folk village cultures collide wedding
This couple blends Indian cuisine, fairies, bellydancers, Rajasthani and Tunisian dancers, fire-spinning and yes, Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It” on accordion, into a medley of colors and flavors too awesome to be kept indoors. They had to carve a place in Wisconsin’s Driftless Region to hold all of this inspiration.
