A little Disney & a lot of creative details at this Disney New Jersey wedding

A little Disney & a lot of creative details at this Disney-inspired New Jersey wedding

Arielle and Bryan are both established actors who have major creative streaks and a love for Disney. Arielle actually crafted her own dress and made her flower arrangement and reception decor, including the amazing Disney-themed display that will blow your mind. Best part? They held the ceremony in the same church in which Arielle’s parents were married! So sweet.

The reception had a casual vibe with no announcements, coloring pages for children (Disney-themed, natch!), a song written and sung by Arielle’s brother(!), and tons of dancing. You’ll want to see the final lift at the end…

An intimate queer lady seaside meets enchanted library wedding

Basically, we set out to A) make our vows to one another legally official, and B) have a really, really fun party for all of our favorite people. Along the way, we came up with an "enchanted library" theme for the reception, to reflect our love of writing and reading.

A Renaissance fantasy Christmas wedding (aka "A Lord of the Rings Christmas Special!")

A Renaissance fantasy Christmas wedding (aka “A Lord of the Rings Christmas Special!”)

When people asked about our wedding, we joked that the theme was, "Lord of the Rings Christmas Special." Shane is a huge Tolkein nerd, and we both love Renaissance faires and fantasy. Our wedding was in December, his favorite color is red, and mine is green, so throwing Christmas in just made sense. It came together beautifully.

This mermaid wedding inspiration is like Atlantis come to life

Attention wedding mermaids: this beach wedding inspiration is like Atlantis come to life

Okay sure, this is beach wedding inspiration, but it’s taking things up a level to MERMAID territory. Think blue ombre hair with a handmade shell crown, a beach-y bouquet with air plants and greenery, a golden shell purse, a tall ship tablescape, a gold-gilded cake worthy of King Triton’s court, and the blue sequined dress of our sea-worthy dreams. Please take these details and inject them into your seafoam fantasy wedding and then show it to us! For now, behold the gorgeousness…

Casey and Stephanie’s chic wedding was hosted in their backyard at the New Jersey Shore in their custom-made suits (by Bindle & Keep!). It was a triumph of style, epic love, AND adversity, as you’ll see. Korean fusion tacos, customized glasses, a homemade Rice Krispies wedding cake, and suits that were the envy of all!
