BIPOC

Based on reader feedback that it was “hard to find any weddings of people of color,” we started tagging posts that featured a BIPOC bride and/or groom — and/or means you’ll find tons of interracial couples in here! Increasing visibility for BIPOC folks has been a priority for us since 2008, and note that we always allow folks to self-identify. More about how and why we do this here.

Eva & Jesus’ Mexico wedding with bonus arcade fun

This pair had families keen on inviting everyone they knew, two ceremonies, a fantastic arcade photo shoot (with human-sized crane!), and a super cool getaway car decal. Don’t miss the traditional elements like the arros and the lazo, about which the bride has some good techniques for saving money.

Anya & Lu’s colorful allergy-friendly Brooklyn beergarten wedding

This nearly “bubble-girl” bride has lots of allergies, but made the food her own with nut-free, gluten-free, and shellfish-free catering. But it’s the amazing ceremony space, hilarious knot-tying story, and teary groom photos that get us straight in the heart.
