Lisa Marie & Oscar’s retro polka-dotted and tattooed Manhattan wedding

We love us some rockabilly, and we also love it when there’s a chic tulle headpiece, flash tattoo decor, a squee-worthy first dance, and our own [vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/the-reverend-d"]Rev. D[/vendor-heart] presiding! And you’ll love the traditional Polish-Slovak bridal dance that made the groom prove he will move mountains (of people!) to get to his bride.

Faye & Mike’s pagan LARPing gamer nerds wedding

These LARPing, role-playing cuties wanted a Renaissance Faire wedding, but had to swap to a venue that was closer to the airport for out-of-towners. But they still totally rocked their Ren Faire flair with dragon goblets, fantasy-themed tables, D20 candy favors, and a foam sword arch (that totally surprised the groom!). Come all ye who seek fantasy and mischief! Just make sure you read their biggest challenge — it’ll put everything into perspective.

The Reverend D is the offbeat NY wedding officiant you’ve been searching for!

You might recognize our sponsor The Reverend D (the fabulous lady in the middle) as the bride from DonnaMarie & Ricky’s unholy union and heavy metal cabaret wedding. In fact, it was the wedding that inspired DonnaMarie to become an officiant. The Reverend D is one bad-ass offbeat wedding officiant. What makes The Reverend D so bad-ass? Oh so many things…

Emily & Kyle’s autumnal handcrafted wedding

I love when crafty folks work their magic on the wedding — handmade jewelry and rings, lino-block printed invitations, handmade bridesmaid dresses… we boggle at the talent! And in this case, it allowed them to have more guests with a smaller budget. Plus, you don’t want to miss how flippin’ gorgeous these two are with their ink and vintage-styled fashion! I suspect many staff cat-fights over who gets to be in the sandwich with these two.
