Bicycle Wedding

I'm so excited that I can finally post some pictures from the wedding of my friends, Rebecca and Derek. They got married last fall and Martha Stewart Weddings just posted a slideshow of the day on their site. I can honestly say this was the funnest wedding I've ever been to. First Derek and Rebecca are lovely people and smart and talented. I helped print the invitations and with some day-of coordination but I can't take credit for any of the genius ideas. That was all Rebecca.

They said in the invitations that there would be physical exercise and to wear comfortable clothing. But they didn't tell everyone that they would be going on a progressive party around downtown LA on bikes! After the ceremony everybody walked around the corner and saw that there were rows and rows of rented bicycles. It was so exciting! Everyone spent some time decorating their bicycles, then we took off. The first stop was a picnic lunch at a park, the second was a stop in at the LA institution, Diddy Reese and the last stop was for toasts at a botanical garden.

All these photos were captured by the talented photographer Rachel Thurston and you can see a ton more photos and read more over at Martha Stewart.com (seriously I'm barely scratching the surface on the details here.)








Would all 80 guests at your wedding be game to get on a bicycle and go for a bike ride?

  2. that is so awesome!! my sisters is getting married soon.. would be a lovely idea xx... except its law to wear a helmet here.... would make the photos not so fun :(

    and what did the old people do? Weddings seem to be kinda slow and laid back sometimes in respect for all the nannas and great aunts and uncles etc??

  3. There were a couple cars for the old folks, injured, or pregnant ladies. But most everyone was a good sport. They also made ure the bike ride was tame and wasn't too far/ was mostly flat or down hill.

  4. How am I not friends with these people? Will you introduce me? I like to have fun, they look like they like to have fun. Seems like a good match.

    The details are flat-out amazing. Nice work, Jordan and Rebecca.
