Wait until you spy the floral fauxhawk at this cake and punch wedding inspiration
We’ve long been huge fans of the budget-friendly, totally retro-style cake and punch reception. In addition to saving mad cash, it’s infinitely customizable: think cupcakes and soda, donuts and champagne, appetizers and signature mocktails, and the South Park classic, punch and pie.
We spied this gorgeous cake and punch styled reception with its floral fauxhawk, work of art cake, floral jewelry, handmade coasters, estate jewelry, and tattoos and knew it would be a fab example of the concept done super well.
Stars meets nature: a subtly geeky lakeside wedding with DIY for days
We combined our love for nature and the stars into a theme that came very easily for us. It helped that we found a venue that was the perfect setting to view the beauty of nature, as well as get a great view of the stars at night. To further our theme, I wanted to add a bit of a fantasy element so I decided to add subtle details that drew from Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, both of which we're big fans.
A Tim Burton-inspired wedding with hints of Star Wars and epic terrarium centerpieces
Tracy and Ben’s Tim Burton-inspired wedding was an amazing reflection of an aesthetic they love. Plus, there were hints of Star Wars and comic books, too. They got married at a private barn in Pipersville, PA that had rustic charm for days and plays host to art shows. Tracy DIYed all of the decorations including the very fun and geeky terrariums.
All of the groom’s side of the wedding party were in kilts (including his sisters!) and their pups made cameos all over. There was a September heat wave going on, so Tracy rocked a gorgeous and goth-inspired black parasol for some ceremony shade. Then it was all about the dancing in the (slightly) cooler barn. Let’s peep this killer goth and Tim Burton-inspired wedding…
Elegantly gorgeous Harry Potter wedding inspiration (with a cake to die for!)
This Harry Potter photo shoot came about because Tiffany and Brett wanted to get the wedding photos they never got when they were married. Tiffany is a huge Potterphile (as so many of you are!), so a Harry Potter theme was a no-brainer. You’ll most definitely want to see the stationery adorned with the Hogwarts crest and the Howarts-themed cake (a serious work of art!). But mostly it’s just drop-dead gorgeous and eye candy for days. Let’s get a full look at this beautiful Harry Potter wedding inspiration from which you can totally steal ideas!
A nature-loving Poconos camp wedding with a fire ceremony(!)
Katie and Stephen work together on a farm in New Jersey. Stephen is a livestock farmer, and Katie is the Director of Education and Agritourism at the farm. So their wedding had TONS of details perfect for the wedding of two nature-lovers.
Don’t miss the log slice guest book, planter favors (from thrift stores!), solar water garden decor, and adorable heart welcome signs at this Poconos camp wedding…
An inked, glam, and woodland-meets-industrial wedding at the Carrie Furnaces in Pittsburgh
Heather and Sean’s inked style is easy to love, just like their industrial-inspired wedding at an awesome Pittsburgh venue, an abandoned steel mill. Towering 92 feet over the Monongahela River, the Carrie Furnaces are a historical landmark and rare example of pre-World War II iron-making technology.
The flowers are lush, the hair and makeup is immaculate, and the dichotomy of the woodland details in the steel space is the BEST. Look out for the animals masks, flowery shoes, and amazing love…
