Gemma & Steve’s intergalactic English country Star Wars wedding

You know we love us some lightsaber cake knives, so this pair knew just how to shoot for our hearts. Add that to the Jedi Order logos, the Star Wars I-Spy game, and the confetti and glitter “situation,” and you’re in for an awesome Star Wars-themed good time.

Jay & Pepe’s rural crafty New Zealand wedding

We heart this casual New Zealand wedding with lawn games, lots o’ kids, and even more paper flowers. Plus, you’ll love the groom’s skull ring, the bride’s retro dress, and their sweet favorite moment. And just wait until you see how they almost missed their officiant at the ceremony!

Meaghan & Stuart’s book-loving dual wedding in California and Scotland

A glossary program, library book ring holder, author table names, and a big old stack of books made out of cake — we LOVE book week! This wedding is a double dose of awesome with a ceremony and reception at a California vineyard and a second reception in Glasgow, Scotland! We’re glad a book kept these two together so we could see this wedding!
