Kaity & Chuck’s rainbow farm wedding

No hurricane was able to dampen the spirits on this pair’s wedding day. They had their heart set on a farm wedding and made it happen despite Hurricane Isaac’s threats. There were also handmade bridesmaids’ dresses, a mom who saved the day altering the bride’s dress, and last-minute rainbow-decorated barn.

A steampunk wedding with an amazingly detailed wedding cake

Jenny from Moondance Photography may have been new to steampunk before photographing this wedding, but she got schooled! Victorian science fiction meets cyber punk is not something to be forgotten once you’ve experienced it. There were gears on the shoes and in the boutinnieres, top hats, vintage decor, and a steampunk cake with more details than you can imagine.

Curiouser and curiouser: it’s an Alice in Wonderland wedding

Nicole and Mike had an Alice in Wonderland-themed wedding complete with flower girl and ring bearer costumes, mushroom and teacup centerpieces, and the bride’s handmade blue dress (complete with lacy pantaloons!). Mike channeled his inner Mad Hatter too. The wedding was held at Darby House in Galloway, OH and was the perfect outdoor backdrop to this theme.
