Heather & Diane’s snowy mountain lodge wedding

This pair focused on the places and tokens that meant the most to them. Their venue, concert ticket table numbers, and even a cute feather fascinator had meaning. And when a snowstorm took away the option of an outdoor ceremony, their indoor alternative turned out better than ever. These ladies know how to plan an intimate and personal celebration (with awesome winter coats!).

Sarah & Aaron’s rustic forest camp-out wedding

It started with the vintage postcard invitations and ended with a nighttime game of “Monster.” That’s a pretty awesome way to have an outdoor camp-out wedding. Add in a potluck feast, a dance party to rival any and all barn dances, and sage advice on buying kegs, and you’re bound to enjoy this taste-of-rustic forest wedding.

Caroline & Aimee’s three-day lesbian movie theatre wedding

Their first date was at a theatre and their wedding was held in that same place. D’aww! These two ladies are social butterflies since they had their son, and the sheer amount of people wanting to show their love meant they had to plan for it — in the form of a three-day celebration!
