The inspiration behind Kris and Landon's big day was the fact that Kris has never been to a Halloween party... no, really! "It's the best holiday because your only obligation is to dress like an ass and then get candy for it. So we said screw it and threw a Halloween party,... but you know, just got married in the beginning." Kris explained.Read more...

Misty and David's Memphis wedding was 1930s formal meet 1800s masquerade ball. And as a couple who hit it off discussing Dali's rare Alice In Wonderland paintings, we'd expect nothing less than artistic brilliance. At their first meeting with their wedding planner Misty informed her she wanted their ceremony to look like something out of Interview with a Vampire, and a mixture of 1920s and 1930s Hollywood glam meets old world Parisian brothel!Read more...

Vanessa and Vincent didn't want a theme for their October wedding, even going to far as telling people who asked that their theme was "shit show" (LOL) but undeniably, by bringing their own likes and personal style into their day, they created a wedding that reflected the bride's gothic aesthetic and the groom's family values.Read more...
