Emily's dress was by Free People, her shoes were from Goodwill and her jewellery was all vintage. Bernard's outfit was also second-hand and all the flowers were picked from a nearby wood!Read more...

Ben and Roo wanted their big day to feel like 'them'. So they enlisted the help of friends and family to hand craft the wedding of their dreams! "Our theme was 'nature meets colorful meets elegant meets comfortable!" began the bride. "I was a circus performer for ten years and Ben has been a rigger for his whole professional life. Our friends are eclectic and multi-skilled and they all pitched in. It made a blank slate of a venue become a colorful tapestry of strings of circus lights, people on stilts, colorful guests, chandeliers hanging from trees and an amazing electro-swing dance party!"Read more...

Danny and Maya were married at Cedar Bend Events, just 25 minutes outside of Austin. They chose their venue because they wanted an outdoor wedding and this place was beautiful! "We both really wanted the wedding to be outdoors and to embody the relaxing feel of a backyard barbecue", wrote the groom. "Our original plan was actually to have a family barbecue style event and handle all of the food/catering as a family, but that proved too difficult logistically, so we opted for a wedding venue that could provide the same relaxed feeling."Read more...

We wanted it to feel really informal instead of the traditional agenda burdened wedding."Read more...

Jess and Matt were married at a cemetery. Although this might sound a bit 'weird', they thought it was anything but, "Many people get married in a church, and pretty much all churches have graveyards so our venue was not too far from the ordinary when you think about it", Jess said. "Arnos Vale is a place we hold deep affection for, so the surroundings were the focal point and the building was an aside."Read more...
