These world travelers tied the knot at their German castle wedding

Having finished her studies, Elli wanted to travel the world before starting her job as a teacher. She booked flights to Australia and New Zealand and met Terry on the third day in Lorne. For Terry it was love at first sight, and after traveling together to New Zealand, Elli realized Terry was the one as well. They have been together ever since. The relaxed and elegant wedding was held in a castle built around the year 1200. Elli envisioned the day to be inviting, easy, personal, and down to earth with a touch of boho and lovely flowers. There was a mix of lavender, eucalyptus, field flowers, and touches of chrysanthemums and berries.

Use your cake pops as a pop culture nod

Individual desserts made for “cake cutting” photos give you a great opportunity to stamp a little personality into the nomming. Amy Joy and Christian had two of their cake pops turned into a golden snitch and a German flag, respectively.

Laura & Niels’ intimate international musical wedding

The only words the bride and groom utter in the German civil ceremony is “Ja” (Yes). This couple had a lot more to say than that and was super lucky to find an awesome official who would let them choose music, readings, and write their own vows. Also, four words: Big Leobowski cake topper!!
