Cultures merge at this Quaker ceremony meets Mexican fiesta wedding
Nora and Paco had a Quaker meets Mexico wedding at the school where Nora’s parents worked. Nora comes from Quaker roots and Paco was born and raised in Mexico, so the blend of these traditions was so interesting to see unfold. There was a traditional Quaker ceremony followed by a surprise Mariachi band that led guests to a Mexican fiesta complete with a fab taco bar and music. Once the Mariachi band departed, a folk band came in to lead everyone in traditional square dancing.

Ottenpaloosa: a joyful & colorful music festival wedding
Our wedding was a big, fun, love fest! My husband and I chose to do a music festival theme, because we met at Wakarusa, a music festival in the Ozark mountains. We wanted to be surrounded by nature on our wedding day, so our wedding was held at the beautiful Wildwood Park for the Arts. I am an art teacher, so I wanted our wedding to be an explosion of color. Each of my bridesmaids wore a different tertiary color on the color wheel. We also incorporated as much color as we could by using colorful tapestries on the tables and by hanging rainbow ribbons in the trees.

Daniel and Zoe live in NYC, but their wedding took place in Daniel’s home state, in Monroe, North Carolina. The couple enjoys both illustration and Brooklyn life, so you’ll see bits of both throughout the details of their colorful farm wedding. From the Simpsons details to the donut table to the colorful flower and herb centerpieces, everything was a nod to Daniel and Zoe’s homage to color, style, and serious emotion.
Get your hankies out for the ceremony, folks!
Beach balls and paper craft at this artsy & colorful wedding in Mexico
Veronica & Ron’s wedding at Bayan Tree Mayakoba in Playa del Carmen, Mexico was an artsy festival of fun. They filled the day with unexpected surprises all over the place. The wedding party entered the ceremony dancing to Gloria Estefan’s “Conga,” and after a first kiss jump, guests threw beach balls in the air as they walked down the aisle(!).
The reception space was filled with colorful shapes, DIYed paper craft, and flower combinations. The reception was wild with games, tons of dancing, confetti storms, and fireworks on the beach. When two creative people put their heads together in a gorgeous place like this, magic happens…
