It was the night of September 17th, 2010. James arrived at a bar called ‘Bartini’ with 3 of his closest friends after a pretty intense dance party ‘pre-game’ at the office and soon spotted the tall & handsome bachelor named Mike. After what seemed like forever of playing the ‘eyes across the room’ game, James went up to this handsome guy and said, “Aren’t you going to say hello?”  2 weeks later, Michael was pumpkin picking in Manalapan with the entire Kleeman Klan and it was happily-ever-after.

A gay wedding is the union between two people who identify as gay, who will exchange vows and begin their lives together as a couple. Gay weddings tend to be rather eventful, especially if the couple may be the first in their community to tie the knot. The planning process is usually somewhat different, as certain “traditional” notions may need a makeover.

When planning a gay wedding, get creative and personalize away! After all, your big day happens only once in a lifetime, and you should not be bound by customs.

Need vendors for your gay wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

A gay wedding is like any other wedding in the fact that it symbolizes the enduring love of two people. However, in this particular situation, they just both happen to be men. If you haven’t learned already, gay weddings are a wonderful event, representing a way to not only exchange vows and make commitments, but also to share this revelry with loved ones and other members of their LGBTQ+ family.

It’s also a time to see tradition tossed out the window. Guests will typically be seated together, without “sides,” and unity will be the theme of the day.

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your gay wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.

There are so many venue options when it comes to modern weddings. Lofts and rooftops are popular choices for this wedding style, but we like the idea of mixing it up a little by exchanging your vows at a museum, distillery or even a nightclub.

Bold signage is everything at a modern wedding—the larger, the better!

Need vendors for your modern wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

The modern wedding style is typically very clean and sleek with a minimal color palette and some metallic details. Wedding attire is sophisticated and chic and the florals are often monochromatic or greenery-heavy. Think bold lines or geometric designs when it comes to the overall décor details 

A modern wedding style is refined and simple, but daring. It's typically a formal vibe and we see a lot of white and black with modern weddings, but also bold colors like teal, eggplant and fuschia. The décor often features florals like calla lilies or dahlias, as well as ghost chairs, Edison bulbs, neon signs and greenery walls. The fashion is a big component of modern weddings—we love a fearless colored suit or backless sheath gown.
