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.

Mel & Tevis’ crafty vegan space wedding

This couple had some twists that threw some family members for a loop, they’re secular, vegan, and genderqueer. But after embracing all of these characteristics, the pair felt like themselves which made them feel AWESOME. Don’t miss the D20 glass-clinking alternative, the memorial bouquet charms, puzzle guestbook, tons of DIY projects, and the best quote about hips you’ll read today… guaranteed.

This bright and beautiful Hawaiian day was meant for these two. After a handfasting on the mainland, they continued their ceremony on the beach in Kauai with a lei ceremony, jumping the broom, and a dancing on the beach. This one is intimate, lovely, and true to this adorable pair.

Gabriela & Jeff’s laid-back colorful vegan fiesta

Get this Mexican-influenced wedding in Portland: lotería matchbooks, mini piñatas (“wandering asses!”), custom papel picado, colorful decor everywhere, a caffeinated six-year-old, and a couple obviously super duper in love. Don’t miss their ultra-sweet, handwritten vows, too.

Karen & Michelle’s “love, joy, and happiness” blue celebration of love

Blue details, a blue dress, a blue vest, and touches of red… this multi-hued wedding is something fabulous to look at, but also something that may get your tear ducts going. This pair shines in every shot. Their April wedding may not have been a legal ceremony, but a little miracle happened and well, you’ll just have to see how it all went down after that.
