Mara & Bill’s ultimate electronic geek wedding
You will totally geek out on this amazing LED and electroluminescent wire-covered wedding. Think centerpieces made from a 3D printer, a circuit ceremony involving a soldering iron, LED lights glowing from within their outfits, and even jewelry fashioned from circuit boards. These electrical engineers totally know their shit, and shared shocking skills with us.
A 1930s garden party that you won’t believe took place in 2013
Ashley and Robert had that idea that they’d plan an authentic 1930s-styled garden party. The nail’s head was hit so hard, the nail died. The affair was held at a 1907 Tudor mansion in Highland Park, CA, with a 1935 Packard sedan to deliver the bride. The groom and groomsmen wore 1930s-era morning attire with top hats, while the bridesmaids were clad in couture organza gowns created by Ashley’s good friend and bridesmaid, Theresa Laquey. The bride’s out-of-this-universe dress is actual 1930s vintage from eBay. To top it all off, the catering was based on actual recipes from a 1930s cookbook. Everything about this makes me want to blow my wig… blink my peepers… be dizzy with these dames… and basically blurt out a lot of 1930s slang.
