bearded groom

We firmly believe that no groom should have to shave for his wedding. Grooms with beards are awesome! Short, long, bushy, stubbly… BRING ON THE GROOM BEARDS!

The ’80s and homebrew meet at this Aussie-American rustic wedding

’80s rock, a rad barn venue, TONS of DIYed details, and so much homebrew. It’s a gorgeously wild ride of a wedding and we’re here to share it. Don’t miss the travel signs, the bride’s lace dress, the rustic decor, the “mad love” ring book, and the awesomely mismatched champagne-colored dressed wedding party.

The multi-hued hair, the awesomely eclectic venue, the super glam and gorgeous couple — this two-ceremony wedding is the perfect combination of vintage style and glamorous visuals. If you’re a more private couple, you definitely want to see how they split up their ceremony.

Don your disguise for this planetarium masquerade wedding

Stacy and Mikey were married under the stars at the Michigan Science Center, with an elaborate masquerade ball reception held at the Crofoot Ballroom two weeks later, on October 30. Masked guests were entertained by the Detroit Circus Company’s flame throwers, stilt walkers, contortionists, and trapeze artists. Just wait until you see Stacy and Mikey’s reception garb and makeup — it is seriously a sight to behold. Let’s check out the gorgeous ceremony and wildly-coiffed reception of your masquerade dreams.

Find out how LARPers crashed this backyard vegan wedding

Jayme and Dominic are vegan motorcycle enthusiasts who planned the sweetest little backyard vegan wedding in California. Jayme walked down the “aisle” with her father to a ukulele version of “Today” by Smashing Pumpkins. Their handwritten vows were followed up by a whiskey flask unity ceremony in a public park amphitheater. The funniest part of the ceremony was the surprise background din of a meetup of 100+ LARPers having a battle!

Romantic Winter styled shoot with a married couple from @offbeatbride

A real elopement turned romantic Winter styled shoot bliss

Real life couple, John and Stephanie, eloped on New Year’s Day and didn’t get any photos taken. Jessica of M&J Photography put out a call for a couple to join her on a killer styled shoot, so it was a win-win to get this gorgeous pair photographed. They had all hoped for a romantic Winter styled shoot with snow, but rain was on the menu which still looked AWESOME. You’ll super dig the pink cake, garden setting, and my fave, the floral gown + black veil combo.

You must see this Legend of Zelda wedding with Odinic ceremony

Jen and John had an Odinic ceremony at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire with loads of fantasy-inspired and awesomely geeky details inspired by The Legend of Zelda. The Renaissance faire offered up lunch and shows performed by the actors after the ceremony, including a dancing pig and a falconer. Keep your eyes peeled for the Legend of Zelda cake and ring, black fishnets on the bride, and epic Renaissance garb on the guests.
