Dawn & Benjamin’s off-the-grid forest handfasting
This pair both studied sustainability at a gorgeous venue on Cortes Island, BC, so it only made sense to bring their loved ones there to celebrate their marriage. And those same guests pulled together to provide tons of help in preparing for this camp-out wedding in the forest. But the best part of all is the bride’s HAND-PAINTED dress! You have to see it.
Sweet, serious, and non-gaggy: a few of y’all’s very favorite wedding readings about love
When we’re doing our wedding profiles, we noticed some trends in nontraditional readings… readings that clearly Offbeat Brides tend to adore.
Michelle & Dan’s scooters and papel picado wedding
This wedding is an explosion of turquoise and red, along with touches of what they love: Mexican folkloric art, scooters, and their Boston Terrier! This bride may not have been a fan of weddings initially, but it looks like she and her groom embraced personalization and ended up loving it. And seriously, their dog in a handmade dress is too adorable to miss.
Cecilie & Robert’s history geeks medieval wedding
These two are serious history geeks and managed to inspire all of their guests to time travel back to their favorite medieval era. With handmade place card scrolls, a lakeside ceremony, and a little medieval barn nookie, there’s lots to see and loads to love about this sweet wedding in Denmark.
