Casual groom style board from Well-Groomed
When it comes to styling grooms, it’s easy to go the rent-a-look route, but that usually results in a ho-hum, afterthought look for the groom and his guys. Channeling a casual vibe for your nuptials?

A sunny picnic wedding with lawn games and love
[vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/carly-bish-photography"]Carly Bish[/vendor-heart] sent over this stunning, sun-soaked picnic wedding and we ate it up.

Kristin’s sister, Chaitra (the bride), met and married one of Carly’s brother’s best friends since childhood, Ryan (the groom). So their meeting (and loving) was inevitable. Sweet story aside, let’s get on to the deets: lots of DIY decor, handmade fascinators, picnic blankets as reception tables, lawn games, ribbon wands (perfect for the nearby kitteh)… it’s your own virtual vacation.

Maybe it’s how everyone looks so chill and goofy-happy (and they’re wearing flip-flops, popping corks, and dranking blue cocktails!). They also gave out homemade wine as wedding favors, because they know what the people want. Butterfly Photography was there to capture all their giggly goodness.
