A swing dance wedding on an island (with a Bitcoin unity ceremony!)

A purple mane, a swing dance theme, and lots of little elements of this pair like Futurama, Scrabble, Burning Man, and bunnies. Get ready for moonlit boat rides, a bonfire, and of course, a swing dance-themed first dance complete with hula hoops. But the most intriguing part was their Bitcoin Blockchain unity ceremony. Now that’s a first for us!

Rustic country wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

A rustic country wedding with an old-fashioned ho-down

Andrea and Steve were inspired by their own way of life when they planned their rustic country wedding. They gorgeously combined a formal, black tie event with a huge family jamboree and old fashioned ho-down. Everyone was encouraged to come with a musical instrument and the drive to rock out. They both come from families who love jam nights and réveillons, so the ho-down was simply back to basics for this music-loving crowd.

S'mores bar at this Battlestar Galactica meets forest wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

Andrea & Chris’ nature meets Battlestar Galactica wedding (with ship centerpieces!)

These two are both huge Battlestar Galactica fans, so there were lots of fun references: ship place settings, “so say we all” blessing, and wedding party cufflinks. Oh, and you may need new pants after you see the immaculate glass and wood gazebo-style reception space among the leaves of a truly gorgeous forest.

Star Trek wedding on @offbeatbride

Christie & Jesse thrill everyone with their surprise Star Trek wedding

A surprise wedding is one thing. A surprise wedding with a Star Trek and LEGO theme is another. But a surprise Star Trek wedding planned entirely by the maid of honor?! Now that’s a whole other level of new for us. But when you see the photos, we think you’ll agree that it turned out fabulously. Just wait until you see the first look, the Tim Horton’s donuts, the Star Trek cake, and the awesome dancing.

Spy the fashion, Pakistani food, and mini grand piano at Vrinda & Michael’s giggly elopement

We heart elopements, especially when everything seems to just come together serendipitously, like the cake shop next door to the massage place you’re at. This sweet and tiny elopement has everything you’d want: fabulous fashion and jewels, delicious Pakistani food, and even a mini grand piano that came from a convo only a week into their dating!
