Heather & Johnathan’s nerdy summer picnic wedding
These two had some interesting dilemmas: managing expectations from a very Catholic family and a not-so-Catholic family, balancing the needs of disabilities and the recovery community, and having a super low budget. But we can all learn from this bride’s kick-ass attitude about keeping things accessible and authentic! Plus, we’re totally behind any wedding that ends with a D&D campaign.
Becky & Pat’s destination brewery wedding in Milwaukee
These two live in Boston, but decided to celebrate where they met: Milwaukee, Wisconsin! What better way to celebrate a brewery town than by having your wedding at a restored tasting room? Add in some colorful flowers and bridesmaid dresses, yummy fajitas and pie (oh, and some FAB custom-made invitations), and you’ve got this destination wedding full of beer-loving guests. Just watch out for slippery dance floors — this bride knows how that can go.
A robotic rock ‘n’ roll wedding
Robots and aliens have invaded weddings this week! It’s making me want to break it down in a binary solo. Today’s couple’s robo-invitation theme spread into their photo booth, place settings, and sweetheart table! You’ll also want to check out the suited-up ladies of the wedding party, the amazing wire bouquets, and the sweet-ass vows.
Sonya & Mark’s cinematic retro theater wedding
This pair needed a very specific venue, and a trip to their favorite movie theater gave them the epiphony they needed: a wedding at the movie theater with a retro Hollywood theme! Queue the popcorn and champagne, James Bond-looking groom, victory rolled-ladies, and movie trailer ceremony preview. Just don’t score them too low for the predictable ending (happily ever after, naturally).
A retro red and teal wedding that fits us like a glove
Sometimes we see a wedding and we just know it’s a classic match for Offbeat Bride in the best ways possible. That’s you, Kaelen and Nathan, with your handfasting, red and teal color scheme, monster card box, funky mustache props, and sweet blue dress and shrug (that Kaelen made herself!).
Heather & Marty’s six-guest cultural center and city tour wedding
This pair took serious advantage of the awesome locales in their new city of Chicago. After a $10(!!) cultural center ceremony and an amazing brunch with their immediate family, they traversed the urban terrain for a super fun portrait session. This is the ultimate combination of intimacy, budget-friendly, and bonding with a new city. And a ring snafu at the ceremony turned out to have a really sweet solution.
