Natasha & Jordan’s Roaring Twenties theater wedding

This retro ’20s bash was held in a theater, had three headpiece changes (my kind of girl), and eclectic music (including a ceremony serenade from the bride’s father’s band!). And get ready to get a toothache from the tutu flower girls and kids reading Shel Silverstein at the ceremony. PLUS: a 1920s-themed photo booth makes everyone era-ready!

Sarah & David’s “love never dies” rockabilly wedding

Rockabilly can be a great equalizer among generations. This pair took advantage of that and crafted a sweet little 1950s-style soiree that everyone could enjoy. Even grandpa ended up with temporary tattoos all over his noggin. Add in paper retro car centerpieces, a mini juke box, some sliders and bottled soda, and the party’s made.
