Jay & Pepe’s rural crafty New Zealand wedding

We heart this casual New Zealand wedding with lawn games, lots o’ kids, and even more paper flowers. Plus, you’ll love the groom’s skull ring, the bride’s retro dress, and their sweet favorite moment. And just wait until you see how they almost missed their officiant at the ceremony!

Emma & Richard’s theater-meets-adorable-baby wedding

When you’re planning a wedding in a lovely theater and have a new baby, what better theme is there than to combine these two into a theater-loving, baby-adoring wedding? With “Mommy and Daddy are Getting Married” as the slogan, these two created Playbill programs, VIP place card lanyards, and sported their favorite accessory: their nine-month-old son!

Giselle & Alan’s pirate handfasting wedding

Y’aaaaar! A pirate’s wedding for me! This geeky pair loves pirates and loves costumes EVEN MORE! So when it came to getting all the guests involved, these two did some serious pirate strong-arming and it totally worked. There were corsets, swords instead of bouquets, and no landlubbers in sight.
