Love and Lattitudes

Vegas natives Sara and Anthony decided to marry away from the neon lights, wanting something a bit quieter, that felt more like them. They had visited the park together many times so when it came time to plan their wedding, they knew it would be the perfect place. They even booked the same AirBnB that they stayed in on their very first trip together. “We wanted our theme to be a mix of our love of the desert, our Vegas roots, and a little edge,” they explained. “The inspiration was ultimately the things we love and who we are.”

Helena and Josh didn’t want a big wedding and they didn’t want a church. What they did want was fog, foliage, and something that felt a little haunted. They landed on a plan that involved flying to New England with only two guests - Helena’s mother and Josh’s son Dexter - and getting married in front of an old water mill, just after Halloween, wearing outfits that wouldn’t look out of place in a Hammer Horror film.

Set against the dark timber of a black barn, Gabrielle and Ross' wedding day featured textured florals, stone-cut signage, and a timeline designed to feel relaxed. They skipped the altar line-up, seating their closest people in the front row instead. They also didn't want to say long vows in front of an audience so those were shared privately earlier in the day. Their main ceremony lasted just five minutes. “It felt incredibly special to share that intimate moment between the two of us alone reminiscing on the six years we’ve spent together", the bride said.

Described by Tina as a 'tweet cute', she met Cesar online after replying to an underground speakeasy on the Lower East Side of NYC. The venue announced its closure during COVID with a tweet and Tina wrote back with a clever remark, catching Cesar’s attention. "He was was surprised to find that my entire Twitter was dedicated to birdwatching across NYC's parks, and followed me to learn more about birds", she told us. "I was pleasantly surprised when I saw my new follower was coincidentally the founder of my favourite app, 1 Second Everyday. 1 Second Everyday is a video journaling app that empowers users to record 1 second every day of their life, and I had been using it since 2017 to sentimentally document my new life in New York when I moved here after college. In a way, Cesar had been making my life better and making memories with me even before we'd even met."

Kelsey and Miles didn’t just include weed in their wedding, they built the whole thing around it. From the private vows and gift exchange at the International Church of Cannabis, the bar with curated strains to the disco ball dancers and aerial performers spinning above the dancefloor, this was never going to be a traditional celebration. And it certainly wasn’t trying to be.

Danica and Nick are professional musicians and friends with some of the best talent in Hollywood, so of course they had to have a wedding fit for the big stage. Held at the live music venue El Rey Theatre, their ceremony was held onstage next to drums and guitars. Many of their guests performed throughout the night while others danced with the couple’s dog (who did such a great job as ring bearer). The groom even joined the band to play base while the cellist bride took the night off from performing to stay on the dance floor.

Written in the Stars: A Dark and Moody Celestial Wedding

Earth to Madison

May 30, 2025

Some weddings take months to find their theme. For Corey and Scotty, it started at an observatory. Scotty proposed under the stars - literally - as they had private viewings of Jupiter and the moon. Back on Earth, Corey started to think about what their wedding theme might be. It wasn't until she discovered Rue de Seine's Desert Rose veil and Written in the Stars jacket that it hit her - duh, a celestial theme! "It was all too perfect and from that point on a celestial was all I could think about", she said.
