A blended family wedding with two brides and a long-lost ring

Nicole and Julie had a lovely outdoor ceremony in Washington full of emotional and sweet touches. They had lots of DIY projects and planned the whole shebang in only two months. One very sweet surprise for Julie was during the ceremony when Nicole and Julie’s father surprised her with her grandmother’s ring, which was thought to be lost.

Val & Theron’s sparkly foodie costume change wedding

This wedding has a chic urban venue, lots of glam outfits (including three dress changes from the bride!), glow necklaces on the dance floor, and a very fun flipbook photo booth (with video!). Speaking of video, you’ll definitely want to check out this couple’s super cute pre-ceremony video. It was a really great way to get people in the mood for celebrating love.

Eva & Radek’s diet-friendly Czech wedding by a cave

Traditional Czech weddings usually take place somewhere indoors, but this couple couldn’t imagine a ceremony that was not in the open air. So they chose a gorgeous cave location and matched their DIY decor with mossy centerpieces and green details. They also tackled the challenge of accommodating lots of different diets including gluten-free, lactose-free, and diabetic foods. There was a ceremony near-disaster, but it ended up working out just fine.
