A Nigerian ceremony, lip-trembling first looks, and some amazing hair
Tribesmaid Revedehautbois and her groom Olawale had a traditional Nigerian engagement ceremony that included these amazing outfits (and gorgeous fan). And while this photo was a great find in the Offbeat Bride Tribe, the lovely photo opportunities just kept on coming.
Kaity & Chuck’s rainbow farm wedding
No hurricane was able to dampen the spirits on this pair’s wedding day. They had their heart set on a farm wedding and made it happen despite Hurricane Isaac’s threats. There were also handmade bridesmaids’ dresses, a mom who saved the day altering the bride’s dress, and last-minute rainbow-decorated barn.
Danni & Zach’s intimate backyard burlap-covered wedding
This week we’re celebrating intimate weddings with destination elopements, cozy city hall vows, and private romantic ceremonies. Today we have a backyard wedding of two neighbors-turned-lovers. There were Shrinky Dinks, Cajun and Filipino food, a garaged covered in burlap, and tons of crafty details.
Hana & Tim’s family farm fun wedding
This blended family celebrated the union of their love by having a handfasting together and big ol’ “We are family!” cheer at the end. Tack on a lovely multi-colored dress, a rural farm ceremony, and two adorable kids, and you’ve got a sweet farm destination wedding in Maine.
Clare & Alistair’s tons of hearts and a classic bus wedding
A gearhead groom and a non-traditional bride find common ground with a vintage-style bus to transport their guests from a sweet garden tea to a raucous bar after party. They totally recommend using alternative “non-wedding” vendors and finding DIY projects online, and it worked for them!
Shannon & Tim’s Neo-Victorian steampunk wedding
After having very traditional first weddings, this couple knew that this time around, the whole shebang was going to be totally personalized. Plus, it’s in the form of a steampunk/Neo-Victorian ceremony in a museum followed by an at-home reception with all the nearest and dearest, so we totally approve. You’ll go batty over the corset and bird cage “bouquet” too!
