Lara & Hunter’s tea party wedding with feathers and hats

Teapots, cucumber sandwiches, and cake on the best man’s face? It’s a tea party wedding turned upside down. Add in fancy hats, a retro venue, and a wild dance party, and you’ve got this sweet little wedding in Washington. And when it comes to this bride’s hat, there was nothing to do but put a bird on it!

Robin & Maggie’s wedding chapel crashers two-part wedding

These two rascals sneaked into a historical chapel in New Mexico for their legal vows, and then topped it off with a big bash in Colorado with friends and family. It’s a little historical, a little emotional, and downright adorable. Oh, and you might just love one of the bride’s takes on the wedding certificate as full-on AWARD!

JC & Allen’s Whovian Wonderland wedding

A little Alice in Wonderland, a smidge of Doctor Who, and two geeky kids in the Philippines tie the knot, geek-style. With a pink princess gown, little Alices and Ums running around, and some crafty projects, there was no way this wasn’t going to be fun. Not even a typhoon warning was stopping it. Oh, and wait until you hear about the family’s first dance starring an Xbox!

Theresa & David’s Sonoma County artists’ farm wedding

We don’t even know where to start with this explosion of awesome, so let’s just gush: metal rocket ships, plastic reindeer, vintage arcade games and a jukebox, wine barrels, vintage furniture, antlers, succulents… all DIYed to blissful, farm-raised local perfection.
This couple and their friends are artists and IT SHOWS. The metal ceremony arch the groom made will knock you out, too. Oh, and wait until you hear the coincidence with the sweetheart table chairs!
