Beach balls and paper craft at this artsy & colorful wedding in Mexico
Veronica & Ron’s wedding at Bayan Tree Mayakoba in Playa del Carmen, Mexico was an artsy festival of fun. They filled the day with unexpected surprises all over the place. The wedding party entered the ceremony dancing to Gloria Estefan’s “Conga,” and after a first kiss jump, guests threw beach balls in the air as they walked down the aisle(!).
The reception space was filled with colorful shapes, DIYed paper craft, and flower combinations. The reception was wild with games, tons of dancing, confetti storms, and fireworks on the beach. When two creative people put their heads together in a gorgeous place like this, magic happens…
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.
A seriously delightful backyard wedding with a Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence wedding officiant
Greg and Lee’s backyard wedding in Vashon Island, Washington was truly a spectacle to behold. There was foliage on top of flowers on top of golden lights. There were crisp suits and winks and soft nudges. There were simply lovely cakes and sliders and golden roasted veggies. And there was their intimate ceremony officiated by Sister Unity of Los Angeles Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, which added a whole sparkle to an already glowing day.
Everything from their signature cocktails to the piano solo during their ceremony added to the warm feel of the day. You’ve got to see this enviable backyard wedding…
Get romanced by this tropical elopement at a waterfall in Costa Rica
Terrence and I eloped alone at the base of a waterfall in Costa Rica on our ten-year anniversary. We spent two weeks traveling the coast and rain forest of Costa Rica and spent our wedding budget volunteering with animal rescues (sloths and monkeys galore! We love animals), riding horses, bikes, and ATVs, booze cruising, beaching, and hiking. We even made our own chocolate in the rain forest.
