This is what happens when two park rangers get married in Maine’s fall colorsplosion
How perfect is a crisp autumn day in Maine for a park ranger wedding? Josh and Toni are both national park rangers, and they managed to score near-peak fall color for their wedding in Maine last October.
I’ve got a couple things here I really want you all to notice. First, let’s talk about those adorable pinecone cake toppers. This is a DIY no-brainer right here. The pinecones are even wearing tiny little ranger hats, areyoukiddingme!
Mini birdcages as bouquets? Yep, put a bird right on that
Remember the steampunk-y goodness that was Greta and Erty’s Victorian-styled wedding weekend? Greta’s bridesmaids carried some bird-iful alternative bouquets — birdcages, natch!
Let’s take a peek at the mini cages this bridal party wove into their outfits.
A nest of eggs? Seven pounds of iron? These epic non-floral bouquets will ignite your creativity
Felt and paper bouquets are super popular for good reason — they’re fucking awesome! And you can keep them around a hell of a lot longer than real flowers. But I am here to tell you that there are oh so many more options for your non-floral bouquet. Believe it or don’t, but 25 is just a fraction of the examples we’ve got squirreled away on Offbeat Bride.
Book + Bouquet = a wedding BOOKquet
Paging all book nerds: Kate got a little crafty for her Lord of the Rings-themed wedding and created a book-quet!
An orange Seattle wedding with a candy bouquet, tarot reader, and his-and-her wedding sneakers
Lin and Philip’s wedding had one theme: ORANGE. The color dominated everything from their sneakers (yes, they both wore sneakers!) and wardrobe details to the candy-laden dessert table. Those aren’t the only sweet details: Lin carried a bouquet made entirely from Dum Dums and Philip donned a boutonniere to match. Their dog Hannah served as a key player throughout the day, and a tarot reader performed a reading during the ceremony. Speaking of Hannah, wait until you see the super cute hands-and-paws family photo the three of them took during the reception.
This wedding is all about rain boots, fabric bouquets, and co-written vows pledging eternal love for cats
Holly and Jen rock at crafting: they handmade both of their bouquets and all of the desserts served at their wedding, including the three-tired wedding cake! Yellow and gray clearly ruled the day, as evidenced by the rain boots worn by the brides, the ribbons used for their handfasting, and the crows and bird cages printed on the dessert cookies. The pair bridged sentiment and humor with their co-written vows, including promises to accept each cat brought into their lives and staying together long enough to see what one another’s tattoos look like in old age.
