It’s our favorite time of the year… When we get to relax for the holidays, collect our thoughts on the past year, and share our round-ups of favorite moments + weddings from all the creative GWS couples! From a snowy secret wedding in the mountains of the Czech Republic, to one dreamy night in Mexico — we’re taking you around the world for the Top 10 Most Popular Weddings of 2017! How were these decided? Our dedicated team sifted through all the gorgeous photos (oh darn…), and found the most viewed, shared and commented on from all platforms including Pinterest, Facebook, + Instagram!

We can’t begin to express just how thankful we are for being able to share and showcase the ideas of each couple + the love they share for each other! We adore the ingenuity, the focus on reflecting each unique love story, and all the magic that happens in between — and that’s what a Green Wedding Shoes wedding is truly all about!

10. This San Miguel De Allende Wedding Filled With Romance + Adventure

When these two happened upon the beautiful city of San Miguel De Allende — known as “The Heart of Mexico” — they fell completely in love… And it was just months before he proposed! So it comes as no surprise they headed back for one fun-filled fiesta!

8. This Glam Meets Boho Wedding in Aspen, Colorado

It all started with a boho bridesmaids’ party and the fun didn’t stop there — this Glam Meets Boho Wedding in Aspen was brimming with funky + boho-chic touches — from the handmade (by the bride) dream catchers, chains of flowers, and a series of teepees around the dining area!

7. This Secret Wedding in the Snowy Mountains of the Czech Republic

A secret snowy wedding in the mountains of the Czech Republic… Intrigued? So were we!! They wanted an intimate wedding, somewhere outside — surrounded by nature. However, since some of their elderly relatives wouldn’t be able to hike up a snowy mountain, they decided to do a small + secret ceremony with their closest friends and then reveal the pictures at a giant celebration a month later!
