A ceremony on the platform and a wedding breakfast on an original steam train through East Lancashire in Manchester, UK. Are you kidding me with this amazingness? They danced the night away in a transport museum to top off the theme. Unconventional spaces are some of the most interesting ways to make your wedding something different and Katie and Paul ROCKED it.

Don’t miss their choice to have everyone rock in Mancunian style to an all-woman acoustic string group.

Lauren and Greg planned an amazing rock ‘n’ roll glam wedding in New York and we couldn’t resist sharing it. think pink glittery hair, a glittery train, a leather jacket, shades of pink, loads of stars, and some Chucks for dancing. There were geometric centerpieces and a golden T-Rex cake topper just to add some more RAWR to the day. As if there could be any more!

We made it plenty sexy with what we wore — a wedding mini dress, nude high heels, Beyonce earrings, and a Priscilla Presley-inspired bubble veil for me; a James Bond-style vintage dinner jacket and Rat Pack loafers for Mike. And after our ceremony, which involved making out with some of our guests (see the photos!).
