Marlene & Pete’s DIY vegan wedding in a factory

Vegan fare (barbecued seitan!), an awesome revamped factory venue, and the cutest vintage-inspired couple — they’ve won me over. Add in tons of dancing, some air guitar champions, and kick-ass karaoke, and you’ve got major fun on hand.

Holly & Seth’s high-fiving museum wedding with a broken foot

Interactive invitations, balloon guitars, high-fiving, and dancing all night, despite a bride with a broken foot! But at least you can still shimmy the night away from the waist up. This wedding has a lot of color, a lot of graphic design fun, and one grandma you just can’t keep down.

Charis & Jarrell’s serendipitous Anglo-Catholic homemade wedding

These two eco-friendly, tea-loving cuties had a DIY-filled ceremony and reception in a church with a cupcake bar and a live music jam session. Family is really important to them and it totally shows in the details. Plus, Charis’ groom’s two left feet are adorable.

The wedded unveiling of Team Awesome in San Diego

Sometimes you have to break the silence and declare that you are, indeed, a superhero. Jennifer and Bryan’s wedding was just the place. Especially alongside their Halloween-themed reception complete with a spooky candy buffet, gruesome poison cocktails, and photobooth hijinks.

Adele & John’s anachronistic Victorian World’s Fair wedding

When the first dance is actually a Rock Band duet, you know you’re in for a treat. These two found a way to combine Neo-Victorian style with all of their “interests, obsessions, and pretensions” and have it all somehow make sense. The centerpieces don’t bite (I think), so come on in and explore.
