Lauren & Joshua’s rainy potluck wedding
This pair trekked north to New Hampshire to celebrate with far-flung family, but also to spend their wedding dollars on a state and vendors that support marriage equality. Plus, it’s just damn pretty there! And when a rainy ceremony or guest list drama comes creeping in, this bride knows how to handle it: channel the bad-ass honey badger.
Sonya & Mark’s cinematic retro theater wedding
This pair needed a very specific venue, and a trip to their favorite movie theater gave them the epiphony they needed: a wedding at the movie theater with a retro Hollywood theme! Queue the popcorn and champagne, James Bond-looking groom, victory rolled-ladies, and movie trailer ceremony preview. Just don’t score them too low for the predictable ending (happily ever after, naturally).
A retro red and teal wedding in Sausalito
Sometimes we see a wedding and we just know it’s a classic match for Offbeat Bride in the best ways possible. That’s you, Kaelen and Nathan, with your handfasting, red and teal color scheme, monster card box, funky mustache props, and sweet blue dress and shrug (that Kaelen made herself!).
A sweet and small fashionable wedding among the sequoias
Eloisa and Dan’s destination wedding surrounded by sequoias makes me want to cuddle up around a fire in my sleeping bag. They’re weren’t completely isolated though, since they were at Seven Circles Retreat in the teeny town of Badger, CA (population: 140!). If getting away from it all (and fashionably so) doesn’t pull you in, these other details just might: jam jar favors, a thumb print motorbike sketch, homemade lemon and mint water, and lots of Philippine and Romanian home-cooked food.
