Chloe & Rudy’s chic goth historic mansion wedding

Let’s talk about the fashion going on here: black lace, Doc Martens, brocade tail coat, leather harness, and spiked Jeffrey Campbells — it’s a gothic wonderland of noir chic. Add in the backdrop of a haunted historic mansion and all the spiders, skulls, and pumpkins you could ask for on a dark night, and you’ve got this elegant affair (with Offbeat Bride vendor The Reverend D at the ceremony helm!).

A swanky Brooklyn loft wedding with inked-up brides

Two white gowns + two hot ladies = too much for us to handle. The backdrop to this swank event was an old tobacco factory-turned-loft space, Deity Lounge in Brooklyn. The must-sees: lots of ink, personalized cake pops (get in my mouf), and some truly epic accessory bling. Plus, they had matching ring finger tattoos which were in addition to their rings, not instead.

A chic rock ‘n’ roll Brooklyn wedding

Nicki and Chris had their wedding at My Moon, a chic industrial space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They arrived in a trolley for the gorgeous rooftop ceremony, and then brought the party inside to rock the night away. With musical touches like a cymbal guest book, musical notes place cards, and vinyl centerpieces, they were the rock stars of the night.

Erin & Jay’s queer Jewish Dominican wedding

This pair has an awesomely diverse community willing to celebrate and totally donate their time and energy into making this wedding rock. And boy, did it. In addition to the bride’s handmade dress (out of a sari!) and groom’s kick-ass suit, there was wedding party aisle dancing, ukulele toasts, and a giant group hug right after the ceremony.
