Rachel & Andy’s rustic quirky interactive historical farm wedding

Get out your eagle eyes, because there’s a lot to see in this raptor-lovin’ wedding. Not only were live birds of prey there for the ogling, but guests got a chance to live in this couple’s shared brainspace for a day, with hula hoops, a drum circle, and a couple of celebrities. As if that wasn’t enough, guests got their sax on in an ultimate sax-off, and that’s after the whole party was Rick Rolled. They’re never gonna give you up….

This Utah wedding has an orchid tux, peeks of yellow, and lots of ink

Christina and Alex had an orchid-theme wedding with lots of orchids in the bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and the cake. The groom even wore a custom-made tux with appliqued orchids all over it. Christina wore a ’50s-style cocktail dress and yellow heels that totally offset her amazing ink. Plus, her grandma was her maid of honor! D’aww.
