Julie & Matthew’s retro polka dots and pinwheels wedding

Pink and red with polka dots and pinwheels all over gives this Denver wedding a bit of a retro and a lot of ADORABLE. Add in some LEGO touches, a successful venue swap (due to a major flood!), and loads of DIY, and you’ll be all in. Oh, and you’ll never guess how the bride used Lady Gaga to surprise her dad!

Jessica & Hector’s “’til death do us part” glam fiesta wedding

After seeing this wedding, there is no way we all won’t be in the mood for Mexican food and a full-on fiesta — which is exactly what this wedding entails. Papel picado, an awesome Mexican restaurant, and tons of DIYed decor worthy of the event make this colorful shindig a stunner. Add in the gorgeous vintage-style chapel and sweet mother/daughter impromptu dance, and you’ll be in love with this love.

An amphitheater wedding in Colorado with gratuitous dog adorableness

Dayna and Jason’s Colorado wedding had so much going for it: Dayna’s short and sweet dress, Jason’s Boston tie, their walk down the aisle together, the amphitheater setting with a view we can’t even handle right now, and GRATUITOUS DOGGY SHOTS! This pooch is walking down the aisle, front-and-center at the ceremony, and then falling asleep in the middle. We are bowled over with cuteness. Then it’s on to the reception where there’s carb-loading and robin’s egg centerpieces.
