Megan & Federico’s fandom-loving fantastically fall wedding

It’s our favorite week for spooky, gothic, and horror-themed weddings — it’s HALLOWEEN WEEK! Today we’re gawking at a seriously lovely outdoor winery wedding featuring mini pumpkin place cards, a zombie-killing sword ceremony, a full moon, and some amazingly carved pumpkin centerpieces. You’ll never believe how the bride found their creator.

Emily & Raphael’s handmade, community-centered Texas Hill Country picnic

A gazebo, a bier garten, a pizza and cake buffet, and the Texas Hill Country backdrop — this springtime wedding has my heart palpitating with glee. Loads of DIY projects went into this wedding and all the love and care totally shows. Plus, this couple’s community totally came together to get it all ready. Don’t miss their special kind of reception dance to “Teach Your Children Well,” too!

This week we’re celebrating the tea-length, the mini, and the cocktail — that’s right, it’s short dress week! Today we’ve got a couple of voracious readers getting bookishly wed in an adorable two-room school-house complete with book page flowers, “yay” flags, and a really sweet tribute to the grandparents.

Melissa & Daniel’s hometown nerd-lite shindig

A few dice favors, some zergling pie toppers, and a chic warehouse-y venue — there is some seriously awesome nerd glam going on here. Don’t miss the delicate greenery details in all of the decor (all DIYed!), the massive amount of teeny tiny pies, and the photo booth photos which are totally heading for blackmail land.
