Today we have a special weekend treat for you. We’ve been saving this fun and colorful Minnesota wedding for a fun and colorful day, and Cinco de Mayo weekend seemed like just the ticket (especially because the couple’s first trip to Mexico had a big influence on their décor choices). From handmade paper flowers to a surprise dance performance, the personal touches in Liz and Josh’s special day absolutely blew us away. We love the way they turned their unique love story into a celebration of different cultures, and the fact that so many friends and family members helped with putting on the fête is a true testament to the DIY ethos. Thanks a million to the talented Tiffany Bolk for sharing these photos with us! We’re in awe of the vibrancy.

Liz and Josh got to know each other while working at a small Chinese restaurant in college. On slow nights, they’d pass the hours talking. “There is some question about whether our first ‘date’ was a date or not,” says the bride.  ”But we had so much fun together we just never stopped hanging out.” It was on a later trip to Mexico (their first big vacation) that the couple discovered they didn’t ever really get sick of one another. So Josh asked Liz to move in with him before they got back to the states.

Q: What’s black, white, and hot pink all over? A: Lauren and Mike’s modern NYC-themed nuptials! Though this Manhattan-based couple married in Rochester, Michigan, the Big Apple was a major source of inspiration for their glam ballroom wedding. “Ever since I saw the Sex & the City movie, I knew that I wanted black bridesmaid dresses with bright fuchsia flowers,” says Lauren. With the help of Courtney at Petals Planning Company, the rest of the graphic decor followed suit! Thanks to photographer Calynn Berry for sharing her images of this metropolitan celebration.

Wow. We’ve looked at the photos a few times now, but the feeling doesn’t change. Tessa and Dan’s wedding transports us to a modern fairy tale forest each and every time, and we are absolutely in awe of all that lush greenery.  Set amid the breathtaking views of the Onteora Mountain House in Boiceville, NY, their September nuptials put a 21st century spin on classic rustic romance. We are delighted that Tin Sparrow Studio is sharing the images with us today.

Sometimes, all a wedding needs to feel extra-special is a little touch of drama. Set in the sweeping halls of LA’s Union Station, Jackie and Ryan’s October affair has more than a touch—and we’re completely enamored. From the classic ivory, black, and gold color palette to that gorgeous floral altar, this wedding is definitely black tie chic meets California fun. Special thanks to Josh Goodman for sharing his gorgeous photos of the day!
