Liv & Dan’s Polish vegan wedding in a castle

Pink details and crystal bling meets castles and Cthulhu. Add in some traditional elements and a bit of Game of Thrones, and you’ve got a crafty, DIYed wedding to make everyone have a good ol’ time. And then there’s “Shenanigans Box” and a Stay-Puft Marshmallow man with which to contend. We may not make it out of here, but we’ll go down dancing!

Joanna & Will’s four-day camp-out wedding

Four days of wedding fun is FUN. Four days of wedding fun is also PLANNING. This couple shared the duties for feeding, sheltering, and entertaining a lot of people, and it turned out to be a kick-ass time. They canoed in and out of the ceremony, shared amazing Washington views with friends and family, and even taught everyone to contra dance. Re-live your camp days with these cuties.

A vintage-inspired California farm wedding with jasmine, goats, and a coral dress

Abra and Jeff got hitched at Roshambo Farms, aka sun-drenched barnyard heaven — complete with chickens, turkeys, and goats. In the months leading up to the wedding, the bride’s mother amassed a collection of vintage silk and cotton lace, and Abra’s childhood friend used the pieces to fashion her dusty coral wedding gown. Guests also gifted the couple handwritten blessings (to be opened on the denoted anniversary).

Add in some epic, last-minute garb creation, jewel-toned lanterns, and rings delivered VIA HAWK, and you’ll be loving the historical life. And don’t miss their awesomely hilarious glitter-bombed portraits.
