BIPOC

Based on reader feedback that it was “hard to find any weddings of people of color,” we started tagging posts that featured a BIPOC bride and/or groom — and/or means you’ll find tons of interracial couples in here! Increasing visibility for BIPOC folks has been a priority for us since 2008, and note that we always allow folks to self-identify. More about how and why we do this here.

Rustic loveliness on a budget: a potluck wedding with oodles of style

The bride wore a chic pantsuit, the groom wore locs and paisley, and the DIYed rustic burlap details (including a chic as hell fabric flower bouquet!) are killer. This potluck wedding has so much style on so little budget. Oh, and just wait until you hear how the bride walked herself down the aisle. Spoiler alert: she SANG A SONG while she walked. Oh hell yes. Get ready to swoon at this amazing wedding.

These two brides had a mind-blowing Pennsylvania rainbow wedding

Christyana and Heather wanted to be thrifty while injecting some creativity, so they created a gorgeous and low-key Pennsylvania rainbow wedding. They exchanged their vows by the water surrounded with a reception full of tear-jerking toasts, sweet parent dances, and tooons of dancing. Don’t miss the rainbow cake, rainbow bouquets, and of course, the rainbow wedding party.

Lowcountry meets India wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

South Carolina Lowcountry meets the colors of India in this two-day wedding

Elizabeth grew up in Charleston and wanted to incorporate the classic, southern style of the Lowcountry. Sriram grew up in India and they both wanted to make sure that his culture was well-represented. So we’re talking the addition of a mandap for the ceremony, a two-day split celebration, and lots of Southern-inspired holiday details.

Multicultural fusion and fire engines as seen on @offbeatbride

Be inspired by this multicultural fusion wedding (with a fire engine!)

The bride was living in Istanbul, the groom was in Mexico, her family hails from Scotland, but the wedding was to be held in England. Talk about a lot of Googling and Skyping to get this wedding planned! Good thing they had access to the groom’s gorgeous childhood home and backyard to which they could DIY it to high heaven. Just wait until you see the bride’s red sari, the Indian-meets-UK catering, and the amazing fire engine!
