Kim & Cole’s barn and bonfire wedding
We spied this most excellently dressed wedding party recently and were totally hoping to see the full wedding story. Thankfully, Kim and Cole obliged. Get ready for a seriously chic venue with their added DIY fabulousness (like a sweet DIY photo booth and wine cork chandelier!), and two of the most dapper-as-hell brides we’ve ever seen.
A spontaneous, planned-that-day elopement on the beach
Sume and Crystal didn’t want to wait any longer to say their vows and get right to living and loving together forever, so they decided to get married that very day! Give us marriage RIGHT MEOW! And with the help of a close friend, an obliging beach with some pretty epic damned scenery, and Jennifer Dery Photography, the deed was done. They kissed, they played, they snuggled, and they got themselves eloped at Hotel del Coronado in Coronado, California.

This week’s back-to-nature theme would not be complete without Marie and Prue’s wedding under a 100-year-old turpentine tree at a fabulous estate called (what else) The Turpentine Tree in Kurrajong, NSW, Australia. And the photo of Prue’s granddaughter’s fist-pumping approval? Perma-smile engage.
Jodi & Kim’s glow sticks and bling wedding
This wedding has an official “flower disbursement” and “ring security agents.” Basically, they mean business. On top of that, a dog walked down the aisle, a fish was memorialized, and glow sticks featured prominently in the unity ceremony. I think we’re in for some fun. Oh, and you have to read about the jaw-dropping encounter with their first videographer. It was NUTS.
Dragons, tattoos, cakes, and taking the plunge in this week’s Reader Round-Up
This photo from our Offbeat Bride Flickr pool is killing me, y’all. But wait ’til you catch a glimpse of Stephanie’s visible back tattoo, oh and Tribesmaid Chloebell’s outfit change, and another Tribesmaid’s cheesecake pinwheels, and an under-water Save the Date, and a photo from the SCOTUS Rally for Marriage Equality that made me cry…
