Diana & Shannon’s steampunk zoo sci-fi wedding

This sci-fi and steampunk-loving wedding is so full of DIY projects and amazing sights, you’ll be pretty damn dazzled. Add in the amazing Beatles cover band, their “steampunk bling table,” and of course, the San Diego Zoo setting, and you’re in for animals, costumes, and a good ol’ time.

Pinwheels, sunshine, and a flash mob dance at this San Diego wedding

Carrie and Alynn created one of those idyllic days where everything seems to glow with love (and a fabulous blue sky day in San Diego never hurts!). From the pinwheel-lined path and bluegrass rendition of “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perry, the ceremony is one sweet moment after another. They celebrated their respective faiths, Christianity and Buddhism, and included a handfasting with ribbons tied by their mothers.

Mary & Charles’ crafty roller derby tiki wedding

This destination wedding brings a reluctant to fly Midwest family to San Diego for a tiki-meets-roller derby party with cool DIY details like crocheted bouquets. Things get pretty crazy at the reception with an order to drink more booze and a lady in a chicken hat. It also takes a pretty cool bride to admit her mistake in her advice to other Offbeat Brides.
