Elly & Nick’s vintage/redneck planned-in-30-days wedding
These two are a hot mess of mixed-up genres and I LOVE IT! A vintage gal rockin’ a retro look and a self-described redneck guy from Alaska roasting a pig in the backyard. And you’re going to love their forest-y mushroom cupcakes, caramel apples, and adorable backyard setup.
A gothically delicious ’til-death-themed wedding
They don’t like the usual wedding traditions, so why would they use them? Bring on the goth fashion, metal music, and the EPIC Jekyll and Hyde-themed bar! With an eyeball bouquet, lots of leather, a couple of gorgeous masks, and some clever DIY, this wedding was turned into a celebration of their personal connection.
Decorated vans, ribbon veils, and pin curls
Check out Tribesmaid Sparklebun’s sheer cape, decorated Volkswagen, and charming-as-hell groom. I die from it all. The Flickr Pool, Pinterest, and the Tribe is making my day, and is making for a sweet collection of reader submissions for the Monday Montage.
Emily & Bill’s rainy and cozy camp chapel wedding
A very cool Texas guest book, a Bender card box, towers full of homemade cupcakes (and zombie cupcakes!) , and all the ladies wearing cowboy boots: it’s a feast for the eyes! Plus, they shared not only a first dance, but THE very first dance ever together. And if all that isn’t enough, there’s a cute pooch wearing a bow tie. You’re hooked now.
Trisha & Matthew’s lots of DIY colorful wedding
I think if I were to hire a bride to make my own DIY details, this would be the one. She made awesome paper flowers and a rolled magazine page card box, but the most amazing contributions were the FABULOUS bridesmaid dresses and homemade cake — all of which look professional. This bride and her helpers have major talent. On top of it all, this pair is so damned cute that I will call them Squishies and they will be my Squishies.
Krista & Rob’s colourful relaxed DIYed wedding
This wedding is full of eye candy including mug centerpieces with nesting doll favors, handmade clutch purses for the bridesmaids that matched their colorful shoes, and an adorably accurate custom cake topper on their rainbow dot cake! It was obvious that this wedding would be full of music, dashes of crafty goodness, and lots of love. There are also some key bits of advice in this one, including putting a time limit on your ring warming!
