Lauren and Cory's whimsical French circus wedding theme came from the bride's imagination. She wanted their wedding to be quirky and fun, yet timeless and elegant. "I wanted to keep everything as organic and simple as possible but with a slight nod to the oh-so-quirky", Lauren explained. "I used gold animals that I DIY’d for the escort cards and table number holders which added a bit of whimsy and playfulness to the whole aesthetic. Our theme was Whimsical French Safari!"

The inspiration for Eric and Gina's wedding came from their mutual love of music and the 1980s in particular. "When we first sat down and started to plan it, the one thing we knew we wanted for sure was live music during the reception" began the bride. "Our first choice was Rewind, an ‘80s cover band from Seattle. We both wanted a fun, engaging celebration with friends and family. That led us to choose the ‘80s rock theme, which felt so right the minute Eric suggested it. I mean, w who doesn’t LOVE the ‘80s?!"

Mike and Emily were married at home. Their September wedding was Bavarian themed, inspired by their many trips to Germany! "We feel our wedding was pretty unique", began the bride. "It was hard to find resources for a Bavarian wedding in America so we did so much ourselves and really enjoyed every minute of it. We had a biergarten, circus tents and live music from a variety of our talented friends all day and night. We called our theme a Bavarian street fair, and a fairytale meets Oktoberfest!"

With a budget of just $2000, Matt and Kat said "I do" at their own home the day after Halloween. "We christened our newly purchased house for our wedding!" the bride said. "We had spent several months renovating the old home’s interior but hadn't moved in yet, so all the rooms in the house were empty. We transformed a (future) bedroom into a bar, another bedroom into a dinner/pot luck area. We strung friends’ borrowed Christmas lights all over the house, set up a PA system in the empty living room and called it a venue with a dance floor! Our new neighbour, George, who became a great friend during our move, let us perform the ceremony in the empty lot next to his house."
