A fantastical villainous Candyland sideshow music fest wedding
My husband and I live in and run a House Of Oddities Museum in Pittsburgh called Trundle Manor. We’re used to being surrounded by vintage taxidermy, dead things floating in jars, coffins, and our own art, so the wedding had to be grand enough and weird enough to suit us.
Our wedding cake was a zombified Marie Antoinette head festooned with feathers and candy! It sat alongside our faux wedding cake topped with the taxidermied squirrels we made on our first date in the basement.
A little bit retro, a little bit punk: this woodsy Maine wedding has it all
Siobhan and Tom’s wedding had a retro feel with just some hints of punk and rock ‘n’ roll. They were in a pop punk band together in Seattle, so their wedding took some inspiration from their musical background. They also had pizza, donuts, Simpsons references, and seriously gorgeous Maine fall foliage.
Don’t miss the macrame backdrop, floral bridesmaids dresses, and mismatched plates…
A dreamy, handcrafted fall farm wedding in the Catskills
Lauren and Olivia (aka “Chicken”) had the most dreamy farm wedding with epic views of the Catskill Mountains. We’re talking rustic nature-inspired centerpieces, a rich autumn color palette, and a a rainbow effect in the bridesmaids dresses.
Don’t miss the farm animals milling about, the lawn games, the handcrafted details, Olivia’s chicken cufflinks(!), and these two gorgeous people in love…
Clashes of steel at this choose-your-own-adventure warrior wedding complete with a quest
As James and I met in martial arts, and one of our favorite things to do is go to Renaissance festivals, we decided to put a good third of our budget to awesome custom armor sets. We special-ordered swords. I made my own scabbard. We commissioned one of my favorite artists for custom illustration made into our tapestry.
We did our own simple decorations and set up. The ONE RULE for all attendees was that they had to come in some sort of costume (yes, even the officiant). The theme? "Choose your own adventure." We were not disappointed, and had an amazing time.
