Mihaela & Mitko’s two-part Paris-themed Bulgarian wedding
A Francophile wedding in Bulgaria? Yes indeed. And we’re bringing along two dresses (one crocheted, the other Paris-themed!), a macaron cake, and loads of pitkas (Bulgarian bread). It’s a total mash-up of Western traditions, Bulgarian traditions, and altogether offbeat Bulgarian awesomeness. Don’t miss the bride’s valiant attempt at a horo dance, too.
Courtney & Sam’s colorful hip-hop garden party
Instilling their love of color and music, this wedding-turned-garden party concert was even fun for passersby. Mixing traditions like jumping the broom and smashing the glass only added to the facets of awesome you’ll find. Turn on some Janelle Monae and rock out to this musical shindig.
Rachel & Russ’ queer bluegrass brunch wedding
Did someone say “gorgeous outdoor lawn games and square dancing wedding?” Yeah, I just knew you were thinking about it. Well get on board with this one: croquet, cigars, bow ties, and the couple handing out ice cream. Plus, you’ll love the ceremony structure and big ol’ singalong at the end. To what song, you ask? RING OF FIRE!
