A 1920s-inspired peacocks and zombies wedding

Skye and Cody celebrated their wedding in New Orleans with a 1920s-inspired feel and lots of peacock details. There were lots of lovely decor choices including cool branches, peacock bouquets, and hanging lights. Some zombie details (including the groom’s cake and the bride’s SHOES!), tearful speeches, and a bubbly exit rounded out an awesome soiree.

Carrie & Ryan’s bright lights and Cadillacs late night Vegas wedding

What do you need to get married? This couple says just Vegas, some friends, a little black dress, and a boot full o’ booze! And I’m inclined to agree. In fact, I’m a bit envious of a whole night carousing in a pink Caddy, grabbing strangers for photos, and hitchin’ rides in limos. Sign me up!

Kelly & Justin’s DIY vintage Halloween two-day wedding

These two like photobooths — so much so that the groom proposed in one. So what better photobooth opportunity could there be than a costume party? The ceremony was the night before the reception so the couple could go FULL-ON costume for the party. And let me tell you, it was worth it. A ring warming, candy buffet, awesome costumes, and a hint of vintage give us a lot to love in the Halloween week entry.

Jenny & Damon’s quirky steampunk Buddhist wedding

There are a lot of things to love about this wedding like the bride’s silver and blue dress, the groom’s monocle and cane, and the surprising sake ceremony. But frankly, I’m in it for the doughnut cake and glow sticks. There is definitely something for everyone at this creative shindig.
