One sentence sum up of the wedding vibe: A fun, urban, arty party with a few romantic moments thrown in.
The Info—Photography: Jessie Gladin-Kramer / Venue: Artists for Humanity EpiCenter / Emily’s Dress: Aidan Mattox / Day-of-coordinator and planning consultant: Magenta Special Events / DJ: Beat Train Productions / Catering: Summer Shack (Despite serving mostly seafood in their restaurants, they prepared a 100% vegetarian menu. It was really good!)
Other cool stuff we should know about: We had help from amazing and creative friends and family members. One friend designed and built a photobooth, a few helped bake and decorate a huge “cross-stitch cookie” display (the went along with our wedding invitations that I cross-stitched), and about ten planned a surprise flash-mob/choreographed dance to “Call Your Girlfriend” by Robyn. The flash-mob also included surprise giant heads of my husband and me as little kids and us now. My Dad wrote and played a song during the ceremony, with other family members singing harmony.
We had vegetarian food-stations and open seating because we wanted it to be more cocktail-party in feel rather than a formal sit-down dinner.
Since I’m a graphic designer I was able to make the invitations, the website, and the marriage certificate. Besides those details, I tried to avoid Pinterest so I wouldn’t feel pressured into going crazy with DIY decor, favors, etc. APW was a huge help to stay grounded.
Favorite thing about the wedding: The dance party! And seeing our friends and family meet each other and have fun hanging out.
That whole thing was AMAZING! My personal favorite was the shirts with the super fashionable kid screen printed on them, although the giant heads were so beyond anything I had ever imagined.
Also, your dress. Times a thousand. You’re just so jaw-droppingly gorgeous and glowing.
Congrats!

Are those t-shirts with an embarrassing picture of your husband on them? I must share this with our best man immediately…
Gorgeous day! It looks like an absolute blast and your dress is incredible.

Risky business, those t-shirts. I love them but I have feeling that if it had been my man, our wedding grad post would have read something like: “In short, here is a picture of Hubs undressing a man at our wedding. Not what it looks like doesn’t even begin to cover it.”

Your dress is gorgeous, but the GIANT HEADS stole the show, and now I’m giggling at my desk.

I love the urban vibe you get from this wedding. The industrial art is great as well, I can’t get over the huge heads! You can tell everybody had a blast!

It’s already been said, but I know I wouldn’t get tired of hearing it: amazing dress!!! I love the sparkle and that you chose to go with color instead of the traditional white.

Hope this gorgeous dress serves as a great example to all your gals out there planning your wedding. Your wedding dress should be something you love that fits like a dream and not some cookie-cutter, over-priced frock that someone tells you is the right thing to wear.
