Karly & Jack’s vintage-inspired Alice in Wonderland wedding

Vintage book centerpieces, Alice in Wonderland details all over the joint, a vintage-style dress, and a butterfly cake (and bouquets!) make us salivate over the little things in this wedding. A drop-dead gorgeous venue sure didn’t hurt, either. Plus, there are total lessons to be learned about having your partner help in planning and dealing with a venue coordinator. Look and learn!

Dorie & Justin’s surprise elopement music video wedding

We’ve seen some kick-ass and adorable elopement vids, right? But rare is the time we get to see the actual reactions of the friends and family to seeing the video! And boy, let me tell you, get the tissues ready. For a wedding that totally combines the freedom of an elopement and the care of loved ones’ feelings, check this one out.

Technicolor Muppet wedding: with a stitched felt bouquet and Kermit-green wedding dress!

Never have I seen so much colorful Muppet hilarity in one wedding. (And we’ve seen some Muppets!). A Muppet cake (with awesome sheet cake alternative), Muppet felt bouquets, doppelganger hand puppets, and an ANIMAL BAND(!!) make Cristina and Trevor’s wedding a total nostalgia-fest. There were even felt Muppet eyes and props for the photo booth. Feast your eyes and get smacked in the face with color!
