Real Weddings: Canada

Although we’re based in the United States, we feature a TON of Canadian weddings, especially Toronto and BC. Could it be because we’re no-so-secretly jealous of the less traditional wedding trends of our cousins to the north? Yes it could. Submit your wedding for consideration via offbeatwed.com/submissions.

Verity is Canadian and Lucky is Mexican so they drew on their combined cultures for inspiration and ideas. Also, they had a budget to consider so they had to stick to the necessities. Expensive tent? Yes. Expensive dress? No. Florist? No. Mariachi band? Hell yes!

Rosanne & Andrew’s traditional and geeky wedding

Although Rosanne & Andrew wanted to keep their ceremony traditional that didn’t stop them from showing their geeky/gamer side. This meant having an Xbox 360 at their reception and sending out mini-comic books as thank you’s!

Chantal & Sean’s dark red and black, rock ‘n roll marriage party

We decided to do our own take on tradition. We didn’t want to eliminate traditions all together just because we didn’t believe in them, we wanted to show how we could interpret them in our own unique way.

We were together for ten years already and didn’t want it to be all about us getting married. We wanted it to be more of a celebration of the relationship we already had and are planning on continuing.
