Katherine & Matthew’s tornado-threatened mix-and-match wedding
It rained and it poured on this poor outdoor wedding. But love persevered when they decided to get hitched come hell or high water. With the magic of friends and familial labor, an adorable book-filled breakfast room was made into a ceremony space. Along with their classy restaurant reception, it is easy to see even budget and weather can’t ruin a good time. (And don’t miss their son’s cameo at the ceremony!)
Maddy & Jacob’s garden and arcade geeky wedding
A rainbow xkcd cake with raptor cake topper, an arcade party with Donkey Kong favors, and a gorgeous garden ceremony that blends tradition while shaking things up. I know this is some of y’all’s dream wedding. And it certainly was for this pair.
Corinne & Mike’s Motown and movies Irish wedding
Tons of DIY, an awesome first look with which we had to tinker, a mashed potato bar, an all-Motown-all-the-time reception, and a favorite movie theme means lots of amazing personal touches. Plus, the bride saves the day with a bridesmaid dress snafu. Fair warning: get your tissues ready for their favorite moment.
Lenna & Matt’s big fat traditional Armenian and Japanese wedding
The bride comes from a traditional Armenian background, so her offbeat spirit had a ton to contend with. But somehow these two managed to infuse their concert-going, comics-loving, board game-playing selves into a traditional Armenian Orthodox celebration. Add in the Japanese influences and you’ve got some multicultural mash-ups to rival all others.
