Melany & David’s small handmade garden party wedding

Sometimes couples are confronted with traditions they love and offbeat trends they love, and somehow have to meld it all into a cohesive celebration. These two did that and more. Take special note of the amazing DIY doily archway, the intricate centerpieces, and the tear-filled groom — *swoon.* Come for the lawn games, stay for the sentiment of the group poetry reading.

Kris & Alex’s crafty sophistigeek wedding

A little bit of vintage style, a whiskey box ceremony, a Princess Bride homage, and a lot of DIY make for an eclectic and heartfelt outdoor celebration. Plus they had an after party at a favorite bar for major dancing and carrying on. The matching <3 tattoos just seal the awesomeness.

Sophie & Liam’s low-key budget geek chic wedding

These two know the value of a little leg work in getting a deal for a budget wedding. And when you’re trying to keep family, friends, and especially vegetarians fed and happy, it’s no mean feat. But thankfully, they found a restaurant willing to make a deal and crafted a small wedding with emphasis on being together and sharing in the day. It’s just one of those awesome weddings we are loving for simple weddings week.

Jenna & Trevor’s vegan tree-hugging wedding

When your mother’s blue dress looks amazing on you, you wear it come hell or high water. And that’s what Jenna did at her backyard, eco-friendly party. It’s simple weddings week, and this event was nothing if not two days of simply enjoying family, love, and homemade food on a budget.
