A geeky Moulin Rouge wedding with burlesque & a Doctor Who-themed first dance
We had a Moulin Rouge theme! There was a cabaret group routine to kickoff the ceremony. We had a quick change from the ceremony to tango dress that had a Doctor Who Theme Song with a custom dance routine. There was lots of DIY crafted decor by my mother-in-law and bridesmaid accessories made by me. You don’t want to miss this one!
Succulents, wishing trees, & a zither at this modern art gallery wedding
Joanne and Shandra’s brunch wedding at an art gallery was full of sweet and emotional moments, a ring dog, cultural touches, and adorable brunch bites. Their decor was a perfect match for the art gallery wedding, including a wishing tree, their answer to a guestbook where guests could hang handwritten cards with advice and well-wishes.
There were succulents, a zither(!), and a processional song for each lady (“Love Today” by MIKA for Shandra and the Rocky Theme Song for Joanne). Don’t miss the macarons that said “Happy Wedding” on them in three different languages!
15 wedding capes for a little coverage or a TON of drama
Going for a little extra sheer coverage, an elegant hood, cool weather warmth, or some major drama and glam? Wedding capes run the gamut of style and are seriously in style and in our hearts forever when it comes to offbeat wedding fashion. I do a happy dance whenever I get to tag a post with “wedding cape.” Please let me do it more!
Here are some of my favorite wedding capes, offbeat-style..
A rainy fall farm wedding with woodworking details
Emily and Rodney had a vintage-inspired wedding in Michigan with fall colors, tattoos, Princess Bride and Harry Potter cameos, and woodworking details. Emily is a woodworker and made the inlay for Rodney’s ring. She and her grandfather own a woodworking business so they were able to make most of the decor together.
Her uncle officiated the wedding, starting off with a homage to The Princess Bride, which had everyone laughing. She had some Harry Potter-inspired vows which made everyone sob.
