A woodland Halloween wedding unlike we’ve EVER seen

Gabby and Philip planned a seriously unexpected Halloween wedding: a woodland Halloween wedding complete with nature-inspired masquerade decor. It’s Halloween, but totally natural, floral, and organic. The bride was a woodland faerie and the groom a tree king. Swoon. You’re absolutely going to want to see the log cake, the pumpkin and gourd decor, and the jester who entertained the guests during the reception.

A unicorn wedding with burning love on the playa

Two weddings: one backyard poolside shindig followed by a Burning Man, unicorn-themed wedding on the playa. Though they may have run into issues with their officiant, making the ceremony… unique, the artwork, vows, and awesome costumes make up for it like whoa. Don’t miss the lollipop bouquet, gorgeous headpiece, and sweet unicorn cake.

Don your disguise for this planetarium masquerade wedding

Stacy and Mikey were married under the stars at the Michigan Science Center, with an elaborate masquerade ball reception held at the Crofoot Ballroom two weeks later, on October 30. Masked guests were entertained by the Detroit Circus Company’s flame throwers, stilt walkers, contortionists, and trapeze artists. Just wait until you see Stacy and Mikey’s reception garb and makeup — it is seriously a sight to behold. Let’s check out the gorgeous ceremony and wildly-coiffed reception of your masquerade dreams.

The sweetest vintage country queer wedding you’ll see today

Cat eye glasses, a vintage coat, a dapper-as-hell suit, and tattoos you’ll stop to read over and over — this sweet little vintage country wedding is making our day. Don’t miss the gorgeous barn, bear + unicorn cake topper, and adorable DIY details. Oh, and we learned our new favorite motto about DIY: “you can do it [yourself] if you put your back into it.”
