giant flower wedding

Huge flowers and a surprise Smarties cake at Angela & Jean-Paul’s Aussie wedding

This backyard wedding in Sydney is the sweetest thing you’ll see today. Highlights include the GIANT flowers carried by the bride and bridesmaids (and occasionally eaten by the groom), the surprise Smarties explosion cake, and the slightly tipsy father of the groom speech.

This BBQ wedding featured a “first rib”

These two totally embraced some awesome faves from Offbeat Bride: muglies, one of our favorite dress designers, Converse, hand-knitted shawls, and handmade handfasting cords. They took some advice to take a breather during the ceremony and totally rocked the venue selection (hello, gorgeous!).

8-bit and LEGO love abounds at Jess & Paul’s gorgeously geeky wedding

Get a load of this gorgeous piece of awesomeness in the form of a wedding: succulents, a reception sword fight/dance, a new twist on the LEGO heart unity ceremony with guest interaction, a BMO card box, and 8-bit decor everywhere. Plus, you’ll fall in love with the bride’s response to the stresses of expectations and weight at weddings.

Game of Thrones wedding lantern bouquets

A Game of Thrones Medieval fantasy handfasting from the minds of Sara & Taylor

Inspired by Renaissance fairs and Game of Thrones, this fabulously-costumed wedding featured flowers in the bride’s hair, tons of themed glassware favors, handmade doublets and garb, a GORGEOUS corset, and lush flowers in lanterns for the bridesmaids. Do not miss the epic sword fight where the ladies end up taking the men down hardcore.
