This igloo wedding in Austria will warm your cold, cold heart

Their intimate mountain ceremony took place in a rustic wooden cabin away from the hustle and bustle of the ski slopes in the Hochbrixen ski area. Guests were welcomed to the igloo village with cocktails served in ice glasses. After a quick introduction to the igloo, the whole wedding party got to try their ice carving skills in the Alpeniglu Village. You’ve GOT to see this one…

This wedding is like if David Lynch filmed The Addams Family ballroom scene (you’ll want to see!)

“The initial concept was: what if David Lynch was to film the ballroom scene from the Addams Family movie and the only cinematographer available was Xavier Pérez Grobet (Nacho Libre)?” Yep, this wedding had STYLE… and aerialists, contortionists, a cake with a terrarium in the middle, excellent vintage fashion, and so much personality. You’ll want to see it as much as you wanted to see its inspiration…

Sharon and Quinn are into all things geek and are also very focused on making ethical decisions like ethical rings, sustainable vendors, vegan food, and a vegan cookie table. They even donated their leftovers to the local homeless population. This gorgeous and ethical wedding was intimate (about 50 people) and totally focused on love, shared interests, and making the world a little better. Don’t miss the epic gamer cake to end all gamer cakes…

Tiffani and Schuyler had their ceremony in an old historic movie palace including having their names on the marquee, and wedding-themed B-Movie posters replacing the current showings on the outdoor frames. They had campy movies like “I Married A Monster From Outer Space,” “Bride Of Frankenstein,” and “Bride Of The Monster.”

Oh, and they had a Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory-themed dessert table!
