Angeline & Kirk’s pink boots and kilts castle wedding
Things I love: pink Docs, dudes in kilts, frickin’ gorgeous castles… oh lookie here at this wedding with all of these rad things! The bride’s sweet memento of her late dad is adorable, too. But the best part is the very long-awaited wedding kiss… but not from the couple you might expect! You have to see how it goes down.
Ruth & Andrew’s spiritually eclectic museum wedding
This bride got a little perspective and went from “Super Special Shocking Spectacular” to real-life, community-driven, awesome wedding. With a shmancy museum backdrop, a handfasting, and a ring warming (with a time-saving twist), meaning and tears were not hard to come by. And give me a few non-matchy matchy bridesmaids’ dresses with pockets any day.
This 1930s garden party wedding somehow happened in 2013!?
Ashley and Robert had that idea that they’d plan an authentic 1930s-styled garden party. The nail’s head was hit so hard, the nail died. The affair was held at a 1907 Tudor mansion in Highland Park, CA, with a 1935 Packard sedan to deliver the bride. The groom and groomsmen wore 1930s-era morning attire with top hats, while the bridesmaids were clad in couture organza gowns created by Ashley’s good friend and bridesmaid, Theresa Laquey. The bride’s out-of-this-universe dress is actual 1930s vintage from eBay. To top it all off, the catering was based on actual recipes from a 1930s cookbook. Everything about this makes me want to blow my wig… blink my peepers… be dizzy with these dames… and basically blurt out a lot of 1930s slang.
Our Pagan Pulgas Water Temple wedding
A smidge of Alice in Wonderland, a Regency-style tailcoat, and a bride coming out as Pagan to her family: this is an intriguing combination. But don’t miss the gob-smacking ceremony location and tear-jerking father/daughter dance. Tissues required! And just wait until you see the risque garter shenanigans and missing dress at the reception.
