Karen & Pete’s Spanish countryside handfasting wedding

We love when a wedding just looks like a rocking party. And this style of inviting yourself to party with the couple for a week totally works in my book! Get ready for a casual pool party in a countryside location in the heat of a Spanish summer with the whole family. Don’t miss the music switcheroo for the impromptu first dance. Hint: European football fans may get the joke!

Aimee & Jon’s garden tea party pagan wedding

This week we’re celebrating woodsy, outdoor weddings before it gets too cold. Today we’ve got a UK wedding focused on keeping things eco-friendly, educational for non-pagans, and full of music. With a handmade corset dress, a ceremony in the round, and a forest setting, this pair totally knows how to do fun, frolic, and rock ‘n’ roll out in the wilderness.

Lauren & Steve’s spooky horror film-inspired wedding

It’s our favorite week for spooky, gothic, and horror-themed weddings — it’s HALLOWEEN WEEK! Today we’re drooling over the barbed wire bouquet, the hearse getaway car, the giant pork pie, and the many, many amazingly carved pumpkins by the guests. Plus, you’ll never guess which Supernatural star cameoed in the photo booth…

Jen & Rod’s papercraft-y city gamer wedding

These UK gamers certainly know how to put effort into their decor — you might lose your shit over their amazing papercraft centerpieces based on game developers. But it’s the little touches that made us grin: the Calvin & Hobbes vows, the kitty collar moment, the serenade-turned-glass crash moment(!), and of course, the big love for their friends and family. This is a geektastic-meets-metal winner, you guys.
