Mindy and Luke had searched for a venue in which a large number of family and friends could come and celebrate, camp out, and enjoy a champagne toast. Believe it or not, there was little to be found until they found the Woodward Cave in Woodward, PA. You know we LOVE a good cave wedding. With a barefoot wedding party, retro clothing, guests and participants offering everything from fire dancing to ukulele playing and acroyoga, this rockstar couple really had a magical cave wedding.

When New Jersey natives and adventure travelers Tim and Antonia wanted a kick-ass destination wedding, they chose an epic spot. Nowhere other than Iceland can you experience fire, ice, raging waterfalls, and endless cliff lines all in one day. Their Iceland destination wedding featured a three-course Icelandic meal and a welcome bag with a horn, a cheat sheet of Icelandic terms, a rain poncho, wedding logo tattoos, and a Viking rubber ducky.

Washington couples might find lots of familiar places to love at this Tacoma tattooed wedding. Greer and Mike met at House of Tattoo in Tacoma — he the artist and she the new shop assistant. They were wed at the Wright Park Conservatory and rocked the rest of the night just down the street at The Hub. There were vegan goodies (including a vegan cake!), rainbow hair, gorgeous foliage, and and of course, lots of great ink.
