Mara & Bill’s ultimate electronic geek wedding
You will totally geek out on this amazing LED and electroluminescent wire-covered wedding. Think centerpieces made from a 3D printer, a circuit ceremony involving a soldering iron, LED lights glowing from within their outfits, and even jewelry fashioned from circuit boards. These electrical engineers totally know their shit, and shared shocking skills with us.
A sunny picnic wedding with lawn games and love
Carly Bish sent over this stunning, sun-soaked picnic wedding and we ate it up. But when we found out that it was held at her childhood home, we knew it was really special to her. See, Carly’s brother married Kristin. Kristin’s sister, Chaitra (the bride), met and married one of Carly’s brother’s best friends since childhood, Ryan (the groom). So their meeting (and loving) was inevitable. Sweet story aside, let’s get on to the deets: lots of DIY decor, handmade fascinators, picnic blankets as reception tables, lawn games, ribbon wands (perfect for the nearby kitteh)… it’s your own virtual vacation.
Lauren & Joshua’s rainy potluck wedding
This pair trekked north to New Hampshire to celebrate with far-flung family, but also to spend their wedding dollars on a state and vendors that support marriage equality. Plus, it’s just damn pretty there! And when a rainy ceremony or guest list drama comes creeping in, this bride knows how to handle it: channel the bad-ass honey badger.
Mary & Craig’s Dr. Seuss-themed colorful rhyming wedding
They had brains in their head. They had feet in their shoes. They could steer themselves in any direction they choose. They weren’t on their own, and they knew what they know. And they are the guys who’ll decide where to go. A love monkey came by, a shoe had inspired, and guests were surprised by all that transpired. Cake balls were eaten, an orange suit was worn, and a love that lasts forever was born.
