Rachel & Bo’s rockin’ red and black wedding

There were a few very sweet moments in this wedding: mom walking her daughter down the aisle, friends singing at the ceremony, and a rockin’ band playing for their friends at the reception. I also can’t forget to mention the gorgeous red and black details like the bride’s shoes (matching her hair!), black crinoline, and flower clutch. It all ends up being a fabulous music-filled day.

Rachel & Andy’s rustic quirky interactive historical farm wedding

Get out your eagle eyes, because there’s a lot to see in this raptor-lovin’ wedding. Not only were live birds of prey there for the ogling, but guests got a chance to live in this couple’s shared brainspace for a day, with hula hoops, a drum circle, and a couple of celebrities. As if that wasn’t enough, guests got their sax on in an ultimate sax-off, and that’s after the whole party was Rick Rolled. They’re never gonna give you up….

Even the craft-impaired can make these adorable birdie cake toppers

The cake toppers have been my wedding DIY albatross. It actually never occurred to me to craft anything for the wedding. I buy things. That is how I roll. But my fiance expressed that he had faith in my never-used crafting abilities, so I give it a go and, as usual, he was right — I CAN do this stuff. If you want to make birdies from clay, give this a try.
