colored crinoline

We LOVE colorful petticoats peaking out from tea-length wedding dresses! Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple… we’ve seen every color of the rainbow, including full-spectrum RAINBOW petticoats.

Sam & Ian’s Casual-chic, Peacock-inspired Wedding

We wanted a relaxed, fun day where we could be ourselves without worrying what was expected of us. We only had a small budget so I made a lot of things myself. Our theme was peacock feathers and pearls with indigo, black & jade green as our colours. I had as many peacock feathers as I could!

Hayley & Patrick’s color-scheme-free, crazy-hair-filled wedding dorkfest

Haley & Patrick are lucky in the sense that both of their parents were very supportive of their offbeat-ness. This allowed them to have their wedding day their way. So, they had a quaker ceremony, followed by a reception filled with games and dancing!

Check out some of my favorite photos from the Offbeat Bride Flickr pool here, on this week’s Monday Montage. This week we have more charming couple photos, an incredible green-blue crinoline, a gorgeous pink-ish red dress with a gold obi, a unicorn filled alternative guestbook, a few Día de los Muertos themed pictures, and a llama cookie topper!
