Kara & Adam’s 1930s-inspired aviation history wedding
A wedding in an aviation museum is one thing, but this couple added in some amazing 1930s details that take it to another level. We’re talking photos that totally suggest Casablanca, complete with a Humphrey Bogart-style groom in a white jacket. The air mail-toting flower girls, the “Adventure Book,” and a spectacular venue space just make it all that much more awesome.
Recognizing when DIY projects aren’t worth it
I read an awesome article today from The Chronicle about a 22-Hour Piñata which I think we should all consider applying to our weddings. Sometimes it just is not worth an insane amount of work. Some projects do not deserve to be priorities. For some people, that means the whole damn wedding. Yes, you heard me.
Silpi & Shawn’s handmade Indian-fusion cabaret wedding
This Canadian couple brought together the best of Western and Indian cultures for this fusion wedding. Add that to the mad crafting skills, fabulous yellow saris, talent-filled cabaret performances, and really fun guest book idea, and you’ve got a fabulous party for all involved. Plus, you’ll definitely want to check out the groom’s boy band performance!
Create a coloring sheet placemat for the kids
Lisa and Bill’s ’80s-themed wedding had a big neon cake, records everywhere, and mix tape favors. But one of my favorite parts was their coloring book-style placemat for the kids in attendance.
Lynsey & Dominic’s retro musical comic book-ish wedding
A retro look and snazzy suspenders only barely hold back a party of superheroes at this wedding. From the paper flower bouquets made from family heirloom sheet music to the groom’s red cape, this couple really infused their wedding with their favorite things. Follow the bat signal (or the ’50s music) to see more…
Laura & David’s DIY hippie geeky wedding
You know the saying, “They broke the mould when they made you” often applies to Offbeat Brides. DIY, tattoos, petals, suspenders, outdoors, love, this wedding has it all. Plus, a Batman garter, a lemon tree, and a sweet spread of mini pies. It’s not easy to sum it up in a few words, but it’s definitely authentic to their very own broken mould.
