Jessica & Grant’s outdoor Victorian winery wedding

This bride’s custom-made cobalt blue Victorian dress steals our hearts, and the rustic, forest-y details take the rest. Non-matching bridesmaids in white, a fabulous ceremony gazebo, and so much ambiance. Oh, and wait until you hear the story the groom told in his speech. Let’s just say it had something to with self-tanner.

Joni & Jeremy’s medieval handfasting and archery wedding

Pink hair, custom medieval dress, and goblets of mead? I think we’ve got ourselves an awesome Dutch/English bilingual handfasting! Add in a rad archery session, lots of fantasy and medieval garb, and a fairy tale retelling of the couple’s love story, and you’ll never want to travel back to the present day.

Louise & Adam’s gothic fairytale wedding

It all started with a birthday card featuring purple and white dragons… and led to the gothic splendor that is this richly-hued fairytale wedding. There’s a little bit for geeks, a little bit for film buffs, and a whole lot for those in the mood for romance. And when you see the details of the rich purple taffeta custom-made dress, you’ll swoon.

Anya & Dillon’s Grand Canyon bluegrass beer boat bash

Cowboy boots, an eleventh hour (and serendipitous) bluegrass band, dust-flying dancing, and sky-high views as far as the eye can see — this wedding takes the cake for partying down. Speaking of cake, do you remember the bad-ass Grand Canyon cake we featured? That was only the beginning. Oh, and don’t forget to yell “GORKA” when the time is right.

Alison & Dodge’s skulls and zombies retro wedding

When the “something blue” in a wedding is a big blue streak in the bride’s hair, you know you’re in for some fun. Don’t miss the custom Batman Converse, the retro fabulous bridesmaids dresses, and the zombie references. Oh, and wait until you see the cake they won in a contest! Free cake is good… free AMAZING cake is awesome.

Get out your Lembas bread and settle in for this one.
