Evelyn & Nathan’s quirky Humanist wedding in an Irish castle

Check it: an Irish castle with a ceremony space that looks like it’s made of ice, a bar reception with vegan options and an offbeat coordinator, and a Humanist ceremony with “Everything I Need to Know I Learned From My Dog.” Oh wait, there’s also a top hat-wearing stilt walker greeting guests and a giant pink bus for guest transportation. See it now!

A rockabilly glam Aussie wedding with a little burlesque

Jacinta and Dylan, two Aussies, got hitched in a Castlemaine bar decked out in their chosen lush decor. Jacinta wore a handmade silvery mint green dress and Dylan wore paisley and a bow tie. But the best bits were the live band and BURLESQUE performance!

A pared-down wedding weekend in South Africa

Edré and Riaan are both down-to-earth folks and planned a similarly down-to-earth, small and simple wedding. They decided, in lieu of having a honeymoon, to just extend the wedding to a weekend-long event and spend the extra time with family. This pared-down celebration is a great example of less is more.
