Lisa Marie & Oscar’s retro polka-dotted and tattooed Manhattan wedding

We love us some rockabilly, and we also love it when there’s a chic tulle headpiece, flash tattoo decor, a squee-worthy first dance, and our own [vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.net/listing/the-reverend-d"]Rev.

Stacey & Brandon’s retro sci-fi atompunk wedding

Danger, Will Robinson! This wedding has too much retro sci-fi style to be contained! We’re talking a science museum venue, guests in sci-fi gear (with matching DIY tin foil hats!), constellation cupcakes, and spooky-awesome fog! Oh, and let’s not forget the famous Randy to the Rescue dress. Resistance is futile.

Bethany & Shawn’s geeky retro aviation museum wedding

Let me just leave this here: Adventure Time cake, custom manga shoes, retro pin-up style, and a killer aviation museum venue. We can’t even get over the CAKE! You have to see it. Plus, all the awesome group shots in the museum and the sweet kissy-face shots. And let’s not forget the whispered naughty secrets during the portrait session in the comic book store!

Transformers references in the ceremony, library escort cards, LEGO mini-figs… it’s like a geek’s paradise up in these parts. But it’s all wrapped up in meaningful rituals, EPIC fashion (check out the hats!), and a reallygood compromise between those who love to dance and those who love to chill. You’ll want to steal these ideas, folks.
