Indian culture meets American tradition in these two ceremonies

Two heritages, two weddings, two times the swanky wedding! Lauren and Ben chose to host the ceremonies over two days to honor the families involved. They decided to use the color red to add some cohesion to the ceremonies and into the reception. All of the events were held at a vinyard in Braselton, Georgia called Chateau Elan, which looks gorgeously swanky.

We love this couple and their pink details

This photo of Offbeat Wed reader Pinkerbell and her groom just radiates happy! First, can we talk about how their pink details all match — her belt and petticoat and shoes, and his tie! Next, we need to talk about the sheer joy we feel at seeing folks getting married who aren’t in their 20s. Loves comes to us at all ages, and weddings aren’t just reserved for the young. More mature weddings, please!

A creepy and elegant gothic wedding

Samantha and Steven both look pretty flawless with their extensive ink, perfectly coiffed ‘dos (including purple curls!), and awesome fashion. And then I saw their reception space: candelabras, a spooky candy buffet, purple lighting, and fog. I was a goner.
