Mandy & Nathan’s candy woodland wedding

You want fun? You’ve got fun with this bubbly, candy-filled wedding in Australia. The bride’s chic pastel goth look is the icing on this sweet little cake nugget. A white rose ceremony, the perfect first dance for a shy couple, and some all-too-familiar corset drama make this a totally relatable and lovable wedding.

Kirsty & Ollie’s crafty autumn vintage wedding

An October wedding, vintage and antique details, and candidates for “most adorable bridesmaids” awards are awesome, but then you see the bride and groom. Birdcage veil, a tattoo sleeve, bespectacled dude… we’re hooked. This UK couple knows how to be adorable AND throw an amazingly crafty shindig.

What happens when two 501st Legion Star Wars nerds get married?

Emily and Phil met in 2002 through mutual friends in the UK Garrison, a Star Wars 501st legion group, and have been together ever since. The pair chose to have a wedding that combined all of their favorite things: leopard print, music, and, of course, Star Wars. The bridal party wore leopard-printed dresses to match Emily’s self-designed shoes, and the bride’s floor-length red bridal gown was matched by the groomsmen’s red shirts.
