When every detail in a wedding feels important it can seem like there are no alternatives when you’re forced to downsize. If changing up the plan is outside of your hands, a dream wedding can still come true with the help of an incredible vendor team and a group of friends! Like many couples planning nuptials during the pandemic, Mariella and Tom had to pivot their plans from a traditional wedding to a micro ceremony. Their gorgeous and edgy micro wedding was planned in just 48 hours and there are too many beautiful details to count.

Between the bride’s jumpsuit and the incredible venue, we’re having a hard time choosing our favorite aspects of this wedding. We love how the dark and moody floral arrangements complement The Joker—their venue and where they had one of their first dates! We’re so thankful that Epic Love Story was there to capture this, well, truly epic love story. Keep scrolling to see a confetti toss we’ll be thinking about for years to come.

Edgy Micro Wedding Highlights

At first, when we were planning our original wedding that was canceled due to COVID, every last detail felt so important. In the end, it turns out that just being able to finally call each other husband and wife was the most important thing. We felt so lucky that all our family could be there with such short notice, too. It was amazing having them there. 

The Joker Was The Perfect Edgy Venue

We had one of our very first dates at The Joker in Brighton, we also had our engagement party there. So it felt very sentimental to celebrate our love in this same location

Wedding Planning Advice For Other Couples

We think it’s important to let go of the idea that everything has to be perfect because it’s not going to be! It’s still going to be amazing, though. 

What’s It Like To Work With Epic Love Story?

Working with Emma was amazing! She’s so fun and makes you so relaxed, it feels like a friend is taking your pictures.

Utterly Romantic Courthouse Wedding

Like most other couples of 2020, Daniella and Nelson had a small family wedding planned in the Dominican Republic before a pandemic changed the wedding world as we know it. But rather than let that stop them from tying the knot, the couple moved their ceremony to the Consulate of the Dominican Republic in Boston. After saying “I do” in the courthouse, the newlyweds went to lunch, cheered to their future with champagne and cake, and throughout the process took some stunning photos around the city with photographer Scarlet Roots

Although their special day was small, every detail was well-thought-out–especially their fashion. Daniella looked beautifully casual in her Staud short wedding dress, Jennifer Behr birdcage headband, and Refine chunky headband–all of which accentuated her colorful bouquet from Central Square Florist. Meanwhile, Nelson opted for a more traditional look in a linen guayabera, a button-up shirt typically worn in the Dominican Republic. Who says courthouse wedding fashion has to be boring?

Making Sure The Day Was COVID-Conscious 

It was important for us to keep in mind the true end goal–our marriage and life together and not necessarily the day. Since everything came together very quickly, we didn’t have much time to plan. To keep things as safe as possible, we had our ceremony with two witnesses, snapped some pictures, and then went to lunch together. Back home, we called our families and shared some cake and champagne.

Laidback Vibes At The Romantic Courthouse Wedding

We decided to elope after COVID-19 complicated our plans for a small family wedding at home in the Dominican Republic. It was important for us to have a relaxed and fun day, so we kept everything laid back. My look was an easy linen dress from Staud with block heels. I couldn’t decide between the Refine satin headband or the Jennifer Behr veil, so I wore both. Nelson wore a linen chacabana or guayabera that’s traditional in our country. I ordered my bouquet from our local florist the day before.

Vibrant And Fun 90s Wedding Inspiration Shoot

May 4, 2021 | Junebug Weddings

When it comes to the 90s, we think about AOL Instant Messenger, scrunchies, and VHS tapes, right? With that nostalgia in mind, Junebug Member Nikk Nguyen Photo and his talented team created a vibrant and fun 90s wedding inspiration shoot. With colorful, rainbow streamers and clear inflatable chairs, wedding planner XO Moreau Weddings elevated the 90s vibe by adding stunning florals by The Farmer & I Flower Co and minimalistic table decor. 

To stay on the 90s trend, the bride rocked a two-piece, puffy, off-the-shoulder gown from Unbridaled while the groom wore a striped t-shirt under a Bonobo’s grey suit. Plus, they added narrow, rectangle sunglasses to complete their ensembles. Trust us when we say that you’ll want to grab your Walkman and Pop Rocks for this one. 

The Photographer’s 90s Wedding Inspiration

With this 90s wedding inspiration shoot at The Riley Building, we wanted to create a chic and modern throwback to a classic decade. It was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. The vendors went all out with a playful 1990s-inspired wedding design. It was really important for the designers to mimic the fashion, colors, and vibe of the 90s. With stunning streamers from Pop & Drop, neon flowers with butterfly accents from The Farmer & I, and the inflatable lounge rentals from Bee Lavish, this 90s wedding inspiration shoot was rad!
