Science + art wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

Scientists and flasks abound at this science meets art wedding

Victoria and John crafted a “mad naturalist” science-theme with lots of nature and metallics. It was a total blend of science meets art. The octagon backdrop was made from copper pipe, and John made the himmeli ornaments. Victoria loves gardening, so she planted all the herb favors herself from seeds. She also made the wedding signs and wrote the place cards. They even featured wooden dinosaur models, John’s rock collection, and famous scientists as table names. It was a nerdy and chic extravaganza!

Find out how LARPers crashed this backyard vegan wedding

Jayme and Dominic are vegan motorcycle enthusiasts who planned the sweetest little backyard vegan wedding in California. Jayme walked down the “aisle” with her father to a ukulele version of “Today” by Smashing Pumpkins. Their handwritten vows were followed up by a whiskey flask unity ceremony in a public park amphitheater. The funniest part of the ceremony was the surprise background din of a meetup of 100+ LARPers having a battle!
