These two shy partners rocked their vintage bibliophile Stardust wedding
I wanted my wedding to have a classic old Hollywood style. Since we are both bibliophiles who bonded over a love of the stars and Neil Gaiman, we picked Stardust as our inspiration. I was inspired by the images of paper moon photo booths, which fit perfectly with the vintage and astronomical themes that we wanted. I'm also a burlesque dancer who can't image a wedding without glitter.
A 1950s-inspired rustic vintage craft beer wedding
I love ’50s-inspired everything so my dress was tea-length and my makeup was more of a pin-up look with a birdcage veil and victory roll. We also really looked for an off-the-beaten-path location in New Jersey, which is not so easy! We settled on the Prallsville Mills in Stockton, NJ which is an old grist mill. Our ceremony was in the saw mill. We are also huge craft beer fans, so our tables were covered with hop leaves and our centerpieces were our own personal growlers. I tried to do a lot of DIY with decorating the pallets and using old windows for signs and the seating arrangement.
A fabulous retro drive-in meets cocktail party prom
There wasn't a real theme for the wedding, other than "Let's Duerr It," based on our last name. It was our URL, hashtag, and was prominently displayed in large balloons on stage. One friend had made the comment that she felt like she was at a prom, "in the best possible way." We got married at an old drive-in hot dog stand called Superdawg, where we had one of our first dates. Our friends Kate and Pete chauffeured us in their '61 Lincoln Continental and the officiant was our friend Louie. The guest list was about 15 people (plus our dog, Stanley) and the ceremony lasted about five minutes.
Go beachside with this relaxed boho wedding in Australia
Jessica and Patrick met on the dance floor of their local pub on a Christmas Eve, and when it came time to propose, Patrick recreated their first date right down to the car he was driving at the time. The goal of this beachside wedding in Australia was a relaxed kind of boho theme with endless fairy lights, and they celebrated their unity late into the night at the Chelsea Yacht Club.
Don’t miss the bride’s gorgeous dress, the groom’s luscious hair, and the dance floor snacks I’m still thinking about…
