Jenna & Billy’s band geeks and Harry Potter bookish wedding
Harry Potter and sheet music cupcake stands, an amazing sheet music DIYed bouquet, and damask and Scrabble details, all on a tight budget and overcoming some powerful adversity. This wedding between two alumni at their university is as sweet as it is courageous. Enjoy the book details during our Bookish theme week.
Amanda & Jose’s DIY superhero wedding
A love of DIY and a love of comic book superheros was just the start of the planning for this party. Deciding on a live band was a compromise that paid off. Plus, they said their vows in the same church Amanda’s grandmother attended and in which her great-great-grandparents were married. Aww!
Liza & Matthew’s joyful polka dot tattooed wedding
When you’ve done it once the wrong way, sometimes you come out of it knowing exactly the way you want it this time — a polka-dotted, red and blue, retro, DIYed outdoor bonanza. There were lots of happy tears (with video), excellent fashion and style choices, and even some vows that include Yankee Candles.
Liz & Elly’s queer trans lesbian secular church wedding
These two initially didn’t know they were planning their wedding on Transgender Day of Remembrance, but they ended up embracing the overlap with a moment of silence and a hymn in honor of the day. They also stuck to their guns when they decided to keep this celebration very small. But there was one member of the wedding party who had to be there: their dog!
