Jen & Henry’s Old Hollywood-inspired with a touch of Assyrian wedding

The groom comes from a big wedding-loving Assyrian family, the bride wants to elope discreetly. Sometimes an Old Hollywood vibe is the draw that brings a reluctant bride around. Have some classic movie place cards, lots of feathers, some glowing and happy parents, and Old Hollywood glamour and everyone will go home happy. Plus they had some really sweet audience involvement during the ceremony.

Epic hairstyles for the discriminating offbeat groom

We received a request for some offbeat groom’s hair ideas and I thought that sounded easy enough. Surely there’s a shit load of inspiration for the dudes, right? But I’m just going to say it: you guys need more resources for cool hair. So I’ve attempted to find some awesome examples of epic hairstyles for men to fill this void.

Jessica & Eric’s West Coast music festival-meets-traditional wedding

A gown with gorgeous plumage, winged children, naughty ring bearers, and a leg lamp cake that actually lit up! If that isn’t enough to grab you, there were scantily clad performers covered in food. WUT! Oh, and see if you can spy a certain Offbeat Bride staffer among the guests. OH: there is also a slightly NSFW photo. Be warned (and titillated).

Heather & Diane’s snowy mountain lodge wedding

This pair focused on the places and tokens that meant the most to them. Their venue, concert ticket table numbers, and even a cute feather fascinator had meaning. And when a snowstorm took away the option of an outdoor ceremony, their indoor alternative turned out better than ever. These ladies know how to plan an intimate and personal celebration (with awesome winter coats!).
