When there's skiing out of the ceremony, you're in for a magical Aussie ski wedding

When there’s skiing out of the ceremony, you’re in for a magical Aussie ski wedding

Josh and Steph are avid snowboarders, and decided to get married in the ski fields of Falls Creek, Australia. There was even a little snowstorm to make sure we all knew this was in the thick of winter. The wedding was on the smaller side with 30 guests, so they were able to have the reception at a restaurant with speeches at their penthouse. But our favorite part? Their skiing recessional from the ceremony!

Geeks in the garden: a boho meets comic book wedding

Is there anything more rad than a wedding based on gardens, a love of brunch, and Swamp Thing? This boho meets comic book wedding at Elizabeth Park in Hartford, CT is a surprisingly awesome blend of geek and chic. Don’t miss the punny “Beauty and Beast” cake!

Barefoot Hobbit-themed wedding

The Arkenstone of weddings: a barefoot Hobbit wedding

When it comes to Lord of the Rings weddings, this barefoot Hobbit-themed wedding wins all the Arkenstones. Lanterns, elven bridesmaids, a crown headpiece, hobbit groomsmen (and groom!), and even a dwarf! Gandalf the Grey presided over the ceremony and they ate Hobbit hole cake. There’s so much Tolkien goodness to see, on top of the already amazing silver dress, purple hair, and epic costumes. This pair won’t be throwing their rings into Mount Doom anytime soon.

Wild love for this chic country wedding with a horse-drawn carriage entrance

A red horseshoe for luck isn’t even needed with this chic country wedding (a third for both of them!). This one’s made to last with a fabulous black and white gown, a horse-drawn ceremony entrance, custom cowboy boots, country-chic handcrafted decor, and hay bale seating. Don’t miss the ultra fun wedding party photos and the stellar scenery.
