Elly & Nick’s vintage/redneck planned-in-30-days wedding

These two are a hot mess of mixed-up genres and I LOVE IT! A vintage gal rockin’ a retro look and a self-described redneck guy from Alaska roasting a pig in the backyard. And you’re going to love their forest-y mushroom cupcakes, caramel apples, and adorable backyard setup.

Adrienne & Dennis’ week-long non-resort wedding in Mexico

This bride proposed to her groom in their favorite hotel courtyard in Playa del Carmen, and one year later they were married in that same courtyard! But this time they were surrounded by 65 of their nearest and dearest for some dancing, pool lounging, and tequila drinking.

Lara & Matt’s mid-summer musical forest wedding

Just a few of the elements of this wedding that I love: the “Just Married” skidder, the pine cone heart, the flash mob belly dance, the accordion accompaniment to the ceremony, the Black Hawk helicopter fly-over, and oh, about a million more things. You might want to check it out to see what I didn’t list.

Hayley & Stephen’s 1950s polka dot wedding

They could have hopped a plane to Vegas, but why not capitalize on how good the groom looks with Teddy Boy hair and rock a 1950s theme? Add in a three-piece live band, black flamingo accents, and LOTS of polka dots, and the theme is made!
