Ebony & Alex’s Mancunian retro sci-fi wedding
This little registry office wedding in Manchester is chock full of cute references to how the pair met (Twitter!) and their sci-fi favorites. Plus, it’s totally a testament to the bride’s DIY skills — she made her own short and vintage-inspired dress! Here’s the game: find their Thunder Cats reference, Transformers detail, her something blue, and their invitation envelope quote, and you win!
Carly & Travis’ Southern feminist love party
Carly from Two Spoons Photography, and her beau celebrated their amazing love (started at summer camp!) with an awesome alternative to a traditional ceremony: a series of toasts from loved ones and to each other. D’aww. Plus, their friends each brought their own DIY flair to the decor, food, MCing, guest book, and even the live music!
Candace & Colin’s music-meets-geeky budget Mennonite wedding
The bride was into craftts and music and the groom was a gamer geek — what else was there to do but combine it all into one awesome day? The only problem was a small budget. It’s a good thing these two know how to throw a self-catered bash with cold munchies and a giant sweets table. Oh, and the bride’s mom being talented enough to make a fab wedding dress sure didn’t hurt, either.
A multicultural destination wedding in the mountains
Katie and Gautam traveled from Washington DC to Twin Peaks, California for a destination wedding in the mountains (AND planned it all sight-unseen!). This pair successfully combined his Indian wedding traditions with her American traditions, including gorgeous saris, a flower crown, a candle-lighting ceremony, a tearful father/daughter dance (just try not to choke up!), and a rockin’ dance party with an iPod DJ!
