Casey & Adam’s local school-themed wedding
The bride works in education, and with library card menus, “brown bag lunch” favors, school lockers, a big yellow school bus, and a yearbook guest book, this wedding was a perfect fit for our Bookish theme week. Plus, they took an unwanted extra wall in their reception area and turned it into a giant chalkboard for amazing chalk art! You will love this school yard-meets-marriage wedding.
Katrina & Jason’s “planned in four days” wedding in Alaska
Imagine deciding to get married on a family reunion vacation and having only four days to plan. That’s exactly what this pair did on their vacation cruise in Alaska. Fast dress fittings, a quickie cake and bouquet, and all the nearest and dearest in one place. That’s how you elope in the far North!
Liza & Matthew’s joyful polka dot tattooed wedding
When you’ve done it once the wrong way, sometimes you come out of it knowing exactly the way you want it this time — a polka-dotted, red and blue, retro, DIYed outdoor bonanza. There were lots of happy tears (with video), excellent fashion and style choices, and even some vows that include Yankee Candles.
Jessica & Eric’s West Coast music festival-meets-traditional wedding
A gown with gorgeous plumage, winged children, naughty ring bearers, and a leg lamp cake that actually lit up! If that isn’t enough to grab you, there were scantily clad performers covered in food. WUT! Oh, and see if you can spy a certain Offbeat Bride staffer among the guests. OH: there is also a slightly NSFW photo. Be warned (and titillated).
