These dapper guys had a super chic New York City elopement

John and Randy had the sweet and tiny Brooklyn Bridge Park, New York City elopement of our dizziest daydreams. Between their chic-as-hell style, adorable portraits, and the New York skyline, it’s our favorite kind of urban chic awesomeness. Don’t miss the shots in DUMBO, “Top of the Rock,” Grand Central, and Bethesda Fountain in Central Park where they held the ceremony. Oh, and you’ll go nuts for their subtly matching sleek suits.

This bridal pantsuit is SO worthy of adoration

Riley and Anei’s Wisconsin backyard wedding

Riley and Anei had a lovely backyard ceremony at Riley’s childhood home in Madison, WI full of sweet details like an antique bathtub for a cooler, farmer’s market flowers, tons of string lights, and a striking bridal pantsuit for which we fell head over heels. And I’m thinking you will, too. Let’s see more photos of the outfits and hear about their ceremony and challenges in planning this whole event as a trans/queer couple

These two ladies (and their flower pooches!) rocked the most beautiful outdoor wedding

Melissa and Lauren a seriously beautiful outdoor wedding. Think tons of fabulous florals (including matching bouquets and sweet dog collars!), two flowing and stunning dresses, classically gorgeous centerpieces, pastel macarons, and of course, their two huge hounds who lit up the ceremony. Let’s see the whole thing in all its splendor.

Catskills wedding with prom-themed reception as seen on @offbeatbride #catskills #wedding #lgbt

Wait until you see this Catskills Buddhist wedding with prom-themed reception

These two cuties had a lovely journey to their Catskills Buddhist wedding at Dai Bosatsu Catskills. They had been attending a weekly sit at Dai Bosatsu Zendo’s NYC zendo, Shobo-ji, and eventually started visiting Dai Bosatsu Zendo, a Zen Buddhist monastery in the Catskills. Side note: when you see it in these photos, be warned it will take your breath away. Soon after the two got engaged, they learned that Dai Bosatsu Zendo hosted weddings. They then booked the gorgeous Arnold House in Livingston Manor for a prom-themed reception.
