Lisa Frank colorful wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

Lisa Frank would approve of this super fun colorful wedding

Jenn and David’s first date had video games at an arcade and their second date was Disneyland. They embody “grown, but never grown up” and wanted their Bard Mansion wedding in California to be as colorful and full of childlike wonder as they are. Jenn has rocked purple hair for almost a decade, develops color cosmetics for a living, and still rocks Lisa Frank school supplies on the reg. Was this wedding colorful? Oh hell yes it was. Lisa Frank, The Lorax, and rainbows themselves have nothing on this super fun colorful wedding.

FALL for this autumn wedding with a Nordic ceremony, axe-throwing, and camping

Jessie and Adam’s fall wedding had lots of traditions and symbolism in the Nordic ceremony. The pair and their wedding party carried logs with rune symbols which were burned ceremonially. Burning incense and herbs were sprinkled around the perimeter ceremony site. Adam even hand-built the GORGEOUS ceremony arch structure which had carved Nordic dragons. The night ended with celebrating, ax-throwing, and camping, and we can’t get enough. Just wait until you see the bride’s surprise colored dress underlay, the pumpkin details, and the sheet music and burlap non-floral bouquet.

The bride, Becky, had told event planner Laura from [heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.net/listing/rebel-belle-weddings"]Rebel Belle Weddings[/heart] that with her young son and his friends attending, she wanted to do something really fun. Since the venue had a treehouse look, enter the pirate theme! Becky and her partner Jim were married in a tree-filled area with a reception up on wooden plants surrounded by greenery. Don’t miss the tables named after movies, the actual hired pirate entertainment, and the decor of cannons, nets, and treasure.
