Weddings, uh, find a way: dinosaur wedding details for all you clever girls
Our nerdy science couples have always been down for dinosaur weddings and the dinosaur wedding details that accompany them. From dino jewelry and shoes to Stegosaurus hair to fossil-strewn wedding venues, these weddings are from another time. A long, long ago time!
Let’s go digging for inspirational artifacts from some of our very favorite dinosaur-themed weddings…
A zoo wedding with handmade international details
Jennifer and Abdoulaye are truly an international couple: she hails from the States and he’s from Guinea, and they met while working in Mali. A coup d’état in the country led to Jennifer moving back home, and their relationship blossomed thanks to Skype and long-distance phone calls. Once reunited in the US they quickly eloped, and hosted a wedding a few months later at the Virginia Zoo.
A vintage-inspired California farm wedding with jasmine, goats, and a coral dress
Abra and Jeff got hitched at Roshambo Farms, aka sun-drenched barnyard heaven — complete with chickens, turkeys, and goats. In the months leading up to the wedding, the bride’s mother amassed a collection of vintage silk and cotton lace, and Abra’s childhood friend used the pieces to fashion her dusty coral wedding gown. Guests also gifted the couple handwritten blessings (to be opened on the denoted anniversary).
Sam & Eric’s pinwheels, robots, and Star Wars wedding
Robots and aliens have invaded weddings this week! It’s making me want to break it down in a binary solo. Today we’ve got Darth Vader in LEGO form, a robot card box, and tons of pinwheels. Oh, and you’ll never guess what the guests had to do to get win the bouquet toss!
