Come out of the woodwork, bonfire lovers! I've got a dozen bonfire-y weddings for you to ogle. After their weddings, our Offbeat Brides have cozied up to anything from tiny lil' firepits to roaring infernos. They've played croquet nearby, shown off their hooping skills, and drank tastefully from kegs. One even had a fire dancer light the blaze for the evening. See a photo you really like? Click on it to explore the wedding where it came from!

Not enough? Want more? Fine. Go roam around our bonfire archives. Take a s'more with you.

13. Croquet and a glass of wine. It's a good way to start off an evening.

  1. Bonfires are the best! Could use one right about now with the chilly weather!!

    (And the properly roasted marshmallow is blackened on the outside so you can pull off that outer shell to eat, then roast the next layer and repeat until gone…) 😀

  2. The s’more debate! Golden brown all around.

    Beach bonfires are the best. My biggest worry would be a wedding with a bonfire and heavy drinking!
