Reader roundup: Offbeat Bride photos that we want to move into and never leave again

I loved Ariel’s comment on the first photo in this roundup: “I want to move into this picture and never leave ever again.” I kind of felt like that about ALL the photos that we discovered in our Flickr pool this week. Retro candy, sexy bride and groom attitudes, Star Wars wedding details, and an adorable adult flower girl AND boy!

Leah & Lisa’s fantastical whirlwind wedding of rainbows and butterflies

OMG rainbows! The Honor Party of Awesomeness is attired in a rainbow of petticoats, suspenders, ties, Converse, and shades, and that’s only the beginning. Ribbons of rainbows follow a rainbow of butterflies all through the details. Check out the cake topper that inspired it all and the pinky promise, thumb-touch, lick that sealed the deal.

Eva & Radek’s diet-friendly Czech wedding by a cave

Traditional Czech weddings usually take place somewhere indoors, but this couple couldn’t imagine a ceremony that was not in the open air. So they chose a gorgeous cave location and matched their DIY decor with mossy centerpieces and green details. They also tackled the challenge of accommodating lots of different diets including gluten-free, lactose-free, and diabetic foods. There was a ceremony near-disaster, but it ended up working out just fine.
