From San Diego weddings to Los Angeles weddings to San Francisco weddings, California is one of our largest and most epic states for offbeat weddings.

This couple wrote an original ROCK OPERA for their music-loving wedding

This pair met while playing in their respective bands. After a proposal on that same stage, they decided to write an entire original rock opera album to use as their ceremony. With back-up singers, their own band members, a giant group song, the most explosive kiss ever, and even Statler and Waldorf heckling from the balcony, how can this not be one of our favorite weddings ever? Come see the pink hair, the fabulous dress, the donut desserts, and of course, the amazing concert shots.

Tentacle teal wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

The mirrored corset at this teal and tentacles firey wedding stole our hearts

Liz and Tony’s wedding inspiration came from trips and involvement in the Burning Man community where they met some of their closest friends. Some of our favorite parts were their customized outfits in teal and green with octopus light-up umbrellas, and their reception with fire dancers, fire sculptures, and a ring nest complete with robin’s eggs. Liz’s dress featured loads of tentacles and a corset made from shattered pieces of mirrored glass. You’ll absolutely want to see the whole shebang.

Swoon at these dapper dudes with a “Prince Charming marries Prince Charming” theme

These two dapper-as-hell, handsome gents are both from Texas, but somehow didn’t meet until they were both living in the Bay Area. When they finally got married, it was all about the theme: Prince Charming marries Prince Charming! There were longline jackets, costumes, origami cranes, fabulous flowers, and a gorgeous castle-themed cake perfect for two princes in love.
