Hitchfest 2010 – Bowie Bride & The Rock n Roll Wedding of the Year!
“We wanted to showcase food that was unique to LA, so we chose Korean/Mexican fusion tacos that were served off a truck. (LA is famous for their food trucks). Overall, we focused on traditions that made sense to us as a couple, and ignored the traditions that didn’t. So once we got over the whole, “Do we really need to include this expensive and/or dated tradition that we could honestly care less about” aspect of it all, planning a wedding that exuded “us” became pretty easy. We reused a ton of materials for the DIY decor — most of which we found buried in our closets, or in our recycling bins… Like CD cases, corks, sheet music, bottles, vases, buttons, etc. You name it, we probably tried to reuse it for our wedding decor.”

Jenn and Graham Calgary Wedding
Jenn looked STUNNING, her dress was organic and gorgeous! One of the coolest dresses I’ve seen…and so unique! As you’ll notice from the cake below, one of the themes of their wedding was superheros. Graham even had spiderman cufflinks and his brother had batman! Cool!
After photo time, we headed back to Hotel Arts for the ceremony + reception. Again, Hotel Arts did an amazing job (the room and ceremony location looked awesome!). Check them out if you’re looking for a hotel in the downtown area!

Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something blue,
