Poe and rock wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

Once upon a midnight dreary, we fell for this Poe wedding

Tamara and Sam’s theme is seriously one of our favorites: “rock ‘n’ Poe” — all things Edgar Allen Poe meets rock ‘n’ roll. They DIYed a lot of the goth details, and dinner was a breakfast bar. Between the fabulous black gown (which was actually billed as a “mother of the bride dress” — wut), the killer groom outfit and epic beard, and the black and white lace cake, we love this wedding with a love that’s more than a love. Okay, no more Poe quotes, I promise.

A budtender kept the weed favors legit at this Portland “weeding”

Whitney and John’s Christmas tree farm wedding in Portland started out with golf carts, popcorn, and champagne and a sweet outdoor ceremony. It was followed by an amazing family-style dinner in the woods. One interesting tidbit was that it was the first “wedding” in Portland of its kind. They had a weed bar complete with “budtender”! While this isn’t for everyone’s wedding (hell, it’s not even legal in most states!), having a budtender to keep things legal and controlled can be your ticket to an awesome and legal weed bar at your wedding. Let’s check out their whole wedding, including the awesome weed bar tent.
