Foliage men, Morris dancing, and a treehouse at this Pagan woodland wedding

This treehouse wedding in a forest in Kent blew us away with the traditional UK dancing, Pagan besom-jumping (for everyone!), hanging chairs, four live bands, lawn games, fictional places table names, and so much more eye candy to see. Don’t miss the “green man” at the ceremony!

Magic: The Gathering engagement shoot as seen on @offbeatbride

Find out how Magic: The Gathering and Chipotle led to this nerdtastic engagement shoot

Will and Sara are self-described super nerds (our people!) and rocked a Magic: The Gathering meets Doctor Who engagement session that we couldn’t resist. Table-topping, TARDISing, and smooching — the story of our nerd-loving hearts. They met when she overheard him while walking down the street talking about Magic. As fate would have it, Will walked into the Chipotle line directly behind her and she gathered up the courage to talk to him since she too played Magic. Thus, the photos playing Magic are at none other than Chipotle!

Zoo wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

Find out how this zoo wedding convinced us to love “garbage plates”

“Garbage plates” (just wait and see!), animal print, a visiting polar bear at the ceremony, vibrant pink hair, “sloth” cupcakes, lipstick heels, and a dress with ultra chic black detailing — have we sucked you in yet? If not, just wait until you hear how this pair approached decision-making while planning. Inspiring, I swear!

White suit wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

A custom white wedding suit and tutu-inspired reception dress at this glam meets rustic wedding

Elizabeth and Colleen’s glam meets rustic wedding at the Holliston Historical Society in Massachusetts was a testament to amazing DIY projects and the super chic dress + white suit combination. Elizabeth created all the decor from scratch, all the way from the centerpieces to custom designing Colleen’s suit. She made the table numbers from a broken fence in her backyard and hand-picked the flowers for the bouquets. Don’t miss the black detailing on the back of the wedding party’s dresses and the short tulle reception dress, too!
