A backyard garden party wedding with yard games & cocktail recipe cards
When we started planning our wedding, we quickly discarded a lot of traditional elements. What we did want in a wedding was an opportunity to celebrate with our loved ones, to gather around a table and enjoy a meal together, to welcome our people into our home, and celebrate as a group. So we focused on the most important stuff to accommodate our vision: a small event in our backyard, a menu and cocktails that reflected our tastes, handmade décor, yard games, and a non-religious ceremony officiated by a dear friend.
These high school sweetheart ladies had love blooming Like cherry blossoms
Andrea and Megan were high school sweethearts who met on Megan’s first day of freshman year. Years later, they were getting married in Augusta, Georgia in a champagne dress and a chic gray suit. They incorporated Phillippine culture and tradition into the ceremony as well as exchanging gold coins, lighting unity candles, and jumping the broom.
Don’t miss the fashion at this colorful queer Caribbean-vibes wedding
On their ninth anniversary, Neish and Tish tied the knot exactly as they wanted to: in a low-key queer-love celebration, full of color and easy-going Caribbean vibes. Hailing from Jamaica and Trinidad, the couple knew their wedding garb had to have a pop of color. The bride’s red wedding dress played off the groom’s red bowtie and pocket square, and in a reversal of tradition, it was the groom who wore head-to-toe white.
A little bit vintage, artsy, and nerdy: this art gallery meets kale wedding is divine
The theming was a bit all over the board but it came together swimmingly. The look was super vintage starlet, the venue decorations leaned to a glam nature look but set in an industrial (literally a converted warehouse) art gallery/studios, which already had art on the walls and string lights which made decorating a breeze.
My husband was born and raised in Columbia, MO, so the idea of having the wedding downtown was something he was very invested in. Our rehearsal dinner was at a locally (state-wide probably) famous pizza place where we spent many late nights in college playing D&D and Munchkin.
