Fancy socks + heels: let’s get this to be a vintage-inspired THING
Socks and heels definitely aren’t new (cuffed ankle socks and t-straps are vintage gold!), but I wouldn’t say they’re common at weddings. I’ve been seeing some really gorgeous and glam socks that could take your wedding shoe game up a notch. The real secret, though, is that they’ll likely make your heels (or flats, oxfords, platforms, whateva) way more comfortable. I found a kick-ass selection of bedazzled, sequined, shiny, and totally formal (and not-so-formal) styles to pair with your wedding shoes.
A whimsical sitcom-themed wedding with a private vow reading
“Some of the moments that really stand out as the best parts of our day didn't actually involve our ceremony or our reception. We knew the day was going to be hectic and exhausting, and I have multiple chronic illnesses which can make it difficult for me to be on my feet for very long, so we wanted to plan the day in a way that involved us having some downtime to relax and just be alone together.” Let’s enjoy this gorgeous and hilarious wedding in Newfoundland…
A darkly chic wedding with karaoke and Mexican meets Korean food
Samantha and Michael lived in South Korea while planning their darkly chic wedding in Seattle. They rocks a self-officiated ceremony that was more of a performance than a ceremony itself. Michael played the piano, and the two of them quoted The Cure. But the most tantalizing part for me was their reception food. They blended both of their cultures by featuring Mexican and Korean-influenced dishes. YUM. Then it was all about killer karaoke and an after party under a moonlit sky.
Are you having an “East Coast Style” reception with dancing FIRST?
A lot of American wedding receptions follow this formula: a grand entrance followed by a meal, speeches, and finally dancing. But in what’s been dubbed an “East Coast Style” reception, dancing happens right away with intermittent boogie-ing down between meal courses, too! It sounds pretty rad to me and gets everyone out of their seats and into mingle and mix mode right away.
