Today we're celebrating Pride weekend by rounding up some amazing real LGBTQ+ weddings from Ireland, and around the world, that we're positively obsessed with! Whatever kind of wedding you're planning - whether it's wild and offbeat or timeless and elegant - we reckon these beautiful bashes will give you an abundance of ideas for your own big day...
Nic & Nat
Still one of our favourite real weddings we've ever featured, Natalie and Nicole are a cool Aussie couple who tied the knot with the most joyful barn bash in Sydney. You can just tell these two are so adored by their friends and family, this is one of those weddings we'd have loved to score an invite to! See their full wedding here.
Les & Przem
We kicked off the year with this colourful wedding back in January and it's still one of our faves. Dublin couple Les and Przem got married with one massive party at Headfort House with a guestlist that was as eccentrically dressed as the couple themselves. Cue a Rice Krispie wedding cake, lots of balloons and a night throwing shapes on the dancefloor. See their photos by Memories by Magda here.
Tipton & Dannah
We figured an elopement in French Polynesia would be pretty epic, but Tipton and Dannah are confirming our suspicions with their beautiful beach wedding on the island of Taha’a. From the lush greenery to the pristine water, this pair are giving the phrase 'Get in the Sea' a whole new meaning.
Anderson & James
This sunshine wedding at The Millhouse always makes us smile. Anderson & James infused their day with lots of fun touches, from Anderson's arrival by rowboat, to James rocking up on a flower laced bike. You could tell these two and their guests, had the best day ever! See their full wedding here.
Bridget & Kristi
This one will inspire any couple considering an elopement. Bridget and Kristi married with a picnic for two in the desert at Joshua Tree. Despite having the most simple of weddings, their elopement was no less stylish or elegant, with the brides wearing complementary (and super gorgeous) black and white gowns, and their setting decked out with romantic touches.
Martina & Bianca
One of our fave Irish photographers, Martina California married her love Bianca with a fun and intimate celebration. After a simple registry office ceremony, these two headed back to Rock Farm Slane to cook their own pizzas and enjoy a night under the stars. This is a sweet one, and most amazing of all, Martina photographed it all herself! See the full wedding here.
Robin and Jeannine
There is a lot we love about Robin and Jeannine's amazing wedding at Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens. The couple were eager not to conform to tradition and to create a day that would feel authentically them, and as you'll see from their fun, colourful bash, this pair nailed it!
Brett & Ray
Paint bombs, a petting zoo, a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, and an elegant reception at Virginia Park Lodge, we can not get enough of Brett and Ray's insanely fun wedding. These two had been through a lot to be together, (they met on YouTube and travelled across the world to meet in person!) so it was high time they let their hair down and got their happily ever after. See their day in full here.
Brooke & Lauren
We came for the shoes and the dresses, we stayed for the rustic details and the "Happy Birthday" rendition for their dog, Brooke and Lauren's Connecticut wedding was all kinds of gorgeous!
Aisling & Jackie
We rarely see weddings with quite as many gorgeous details as this one! Aisling and Jackie had a flower-filled wedding at Barnabrow House adorned with pretty details and literature-themed styling. Not only was their day a Pinterest-lover's dream, but their love story left us pretty emosh too - definitely worth a read! See their photos by Into the Light here.
