Sandi Jo & John’s Neo-Victorian circus sideshow wedding

Inspiration can come from anywhere, but in this case, it came straight from the venue, [vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.net/listing/the-quixotic-world"]The Quixotic World[/vendor-heart]. What once was a low-key tea party wedding became a raucous, burlesque “Gears and Garters” Victorian circus sideshow wedding! We’re talking corsets, hula hoops, clowns, and sideshow acts — all following a sweet handfasting.

Lauren & Jordan’s Highland gothic seaside wedding

What better way to celebrate shared Scottish heritage than with kilts, a bagpiper, and lots of tartan? Oh, and add in some goth elements, a little headbanging, and a camera-shy groom, and you’ve got a well-rounded wedding with a ton of good times. And best of all, the rivet head Burners and the small town families came together in perfect harmony.

Kelley & Michael’s beachside Hawai’ian elopement (with ring forging!)

Keeping a secret for a whole year? Not this couple’s forte, but they did it! Planning a sweet and scenic Hawai-ian elopement with back-up plans for bad weather? That they can do! They powered through the secrecy and it was all worth it when they stood touching foreheads overlooking a craggy and fabulous beach as a married couple. Oh, and you’ll never guess what Tolkien-esque wizardry went into their wedding rings!

A sweet and tiny Little White Chapel wedding in Las Vegas

Jacylyn and John brought their nearest and dearest to the kitschy wonderland that is The Little White Chapel in Las Vegas for their adorably tiny wedding. Apparently the cheers at the end of the ceremony could be heard down the strip! The next day was all about a fashion shoot at the Bellagio Fountain and cocktails and gambling at The Cosmopolitan.
