Foliage men, Morris dancing, and a treehouse at this Pagan woodland wedding

This treehouse wedding in a forest in Kent blew us away with the traditional UK dancing, Pagan besom-jumping (for everyone!), hanging chairs, four live bands, lawn games, fictional places table names, and so much more eye candy to see. Don’t miss the “green man” at the ceremony!

Magic: The Gathering engagement shoot as seen on @offbeatbride

Find out how Magic: The Gathering and Chipotle led to this nerdtastic engagement shoot

Will and Sara are self-described super nerds (our people!) and rocked a Magic: The Gathering meets Doctor Who engagement session that we couldn’t resist. Table-topping, TARDISing, and smooching — the story of our nerd-loving hearts. They met when she overheard him while walking down the street talking about Magic. As fate would have it, Will walked into the Chipotle line directly behind her and she gathered up the courage to talk to him since she too played Magic. Thus, the photos playing Magic are at none other than Chipotle!

Groot cake at a Dia de los Muertos wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

Sugar skulls, succulents, and lanterns abound at this Dia de los Muertos wedding (with bonus GROOT CAKE!)

Arlene and Jared have always wanted to get married in the fall as it’s their perfect weather in Northern California. They’re also fully into all things Halloween, their Mexican culture, Dia de los Muertos, and sugar skulls, so this theme was a no-brainer. They chose a restaurant with authentic and fresh Mexican food and decor, Milagros Cantina, which meant decorating was far easier. But a few skulls, lanterns, terracotta pots, and succulents made an appearance. Jared’s brother Rian helped out by hiring a few of his music students to be our string quartet for the ceremony. Let’s peek at this Dia de los Muertos wedding in Redwood City, California.

Costumes, elves, and the one ring: An epic fantasy and sci-fi literary adventure wedding

This nerdy pair chose a fantasy/sci-fi literary theme for their wedding, and asked people to come in costume as their favorite literary characters. We’re talking Jedis, Sherlock Holmes, Peter Pans and Wendys, fairy tale princesses, elves, hobbits, and more. Don’t miss the bride’s handmade green corset dress, the book-themed centerpieces, and the key scavenger hunt.
