Simone & Dave’s chill summer picnic wedding

This wedding was planned while the couple was traveling between the UK, New Zealand, and Belfast, which makes it a beacon of logistic magic. But in the end they managed to combine some geeky loves with some gorgeous summer New Zealand weather for a picnic wedding to remember.

Kristina & Ki Yin’s Double Happiness East-meets-West wedding

A groom from Hong Kong living in Brisbane and a Canadian dame living in Adelaide means an East-meet-West wedding on a few levels. Working with the color red, rockabilly style, a “Double Happiness” theme, and two continents, this double wedding (plus 40-day honeymoon!) was a world traveling wonder.

Helen Isabella & Jonathan’s Victorian high tea wedding

There wasn’t really a theme, just a major mash-up of what they love: steampunk, Victorian fashion, Alice in Wonderland, and high tea! They also found a venue that allowed them to bring in a jukebox, homemade beer, and a fish and chip cart! And you will go nuts over the bride’s custom-made purple gown.

Dominique & Nicholas’ retro ’50s mountain party wedding

A celebration with only the besties in the mountains of Australia PLUS a 1950s theme? Sign me up. The scenery at this place is amazing and the fashion adds a really cool contrast. Plus the wedding party included two bulldogs, so you know it was adorable.
