Jessica & Max’s small handmade secular handfasting
This couple was able to pull off some amazing handcrafted decor, a full self-catered buffet, a FABULOUS handmade dress (by the bride!), and even some home-grown entertainment all on a budget and with tons of style. This intimate wedding was also planned from across the country, so we know it took some serious coordination.
Melissa & Robert’s “anchored in love” underwater adventure wedding
This couple likes BioShock 2. A lot. So their wedding had lots of music from the soundtrack, and –of course — had an underwater theme like the game’s underwater city. Totally gamer chic and gorgeous at the same time. Plus sharks. We like sharks.
Traci & Tony’s mismatched picnic forest wedding
One way to stay on a budget: have access to an amazing farm venue for free! This gorgeous outdoor setting was the perfect backdrop for this couple’s thrifty (and thrifted) ceremony and forest reception. Starting out with some “Smooch Hooch,” following the chalkboard signs, and ending up in a lighted glen… I think I can handle that kind of party.
Sarah & Corey’s budget Viking wedding with a pop culture twist
Vikings, Star Wars, and superheroes — oh my! This warm weather wedding has major charm, lots of DIY cosplay action, and a good group of participating guests to make it fun. With a little Viking heritage, lots of movie soundtrack music, and some name mispronunciation, there’s a lot to see here.
