Janet & Phil’s intimate tandem bike-themed wedding
Get ready for tandem bicycles, colored crinoline (with matching veil!), and the prettiest little backyard wedding we’ve seen in a while. It may be small, but it packs a punch in emotion. Don’t miss their custom Cards Against Humanity deck, handmade flower bouquet, and major board game setup. These two are introverts, but it didn’t stop them from sharing a lot of amazing non-spotlight time with those they love most. Learn from then, fellow introverts!
Courtney & Sam’s colorful hip-hop garden party
Instilling their love of color and music, this wedding-turned-garden party concert was even fun for passersby. Mixing traditions like jumping the broom and smashing the glass only added to the facets of awesome you’ll find. Turn on some Janelle Monae and rock out to this musical shindig.
Angi & Bret’s polyamorous backyard wedding
You may remember this bride from her post about choosing to marry her boyfriend while legally married to her husband. Now we’ve got the whole story of how it went down, including the bride’s husband catering a vegetarian meal, the handcrafted ceremony and vows, and the true meaning of what makes a “real” wedding.
Shannon & Billy’s casual red and blue backyard wedding
With lots of red and blue, a sweet backyard ceremony, and a naked cake covered in knitted flowers, this wedding could not be dampened even by torrents of rain. Fairy-lit tents saved the day and allowed everyone to mix and mingle and enjoy the chic catered buffet. And watch for the bride “making a run for it” at the ceremony!
Julie & Tim’s garden party family and friends wedding
Gathering family from many locations can be stressful, but these two celebrated their 15-year romance with their nearest and dearest and made it look easy. They rocked a choreographed mother-daughter-sister dance and a “first performance” instead of a first dance. But a cameo from a carboard pooch proved the funniest moment of all.
Kari & Chris’ artsy red and teal wedding
A grand mosaic art-piece venue, Mexican vegan menu, a swing-y retro dress, and some Curious George — this is one visually stimulating wedding! Rain may have added some last-minute scrambling, but when you see it, you’ll know it was worth it. And don’t miss the sand mishap in the unity ceremony!
