Funny fashion, a bouncy castle, and the greatest shrubbery

Matt and Tisa found the greatest shrubbery to showcase their love. Reader submissions this week also had a tearful first look, funny wedding fashion, and some bouncy castle joy. Check out what the Offbeat Flickr Pool, the Offbeat Bride Tribe, and Pinterest had in store for us to start the week off right.

Natalie & Iliana’s laid-back bounce house wedding

With s’mores, hula hoops, a bounce house (carefully hidden from kiddie’s eyes until after the ceremony), and a photo booth, there was something for all the kids and the young and heart to enjoy. They also had access to authentic homemade Latin food (made by one of the brides’ families!) and an amazing venue, all somehow on a low budget!

So you feel like you gave in: 3 ways to bounce back from wedding planning disappointments

You can rest assured that it’s going to happen at some point during your wedding planning process: that perfect venue for your vintage submarine-themed wedding is going to fall through. You battle with your in-laws to try to keep the guestlist under 100 people, and you find yourself putting stamps on 200 invitations. Your dreams of locally-sourced, delicately spiced catering is going to be replaced by your mother’s “beef or chicken” menu that reminds you of funeral food (true story!).

Jenny & Qwenton’s Wyld Wyoming Backyard BBQ Bouncehouse Extravaganza

We did everything our own way, had a TON of help from all our friends, and had the best party of our lives! We even had yard games (corn hole and monkey nuts) and a bounce house. It was a great excuse to get all of our friends and family together for a celebration.
