Crystal & Denny’s rockabilly red and turquoise wedding

If falling in love is like owning a dog, these two took the leash and ran with it. Their ceremony honored their love for each other and their beloved pets. Their rockabilly sensibilities, with a Hard Rock Cafe backdrop, made for a very musically-inspired event, complete with guestbook guitar and fab playlist. All that, and an amazing red dress — wait til you see what’s under it!

Lauren & Tyler’s old time rock ‘n’ roll music madness wedding

Music was so interwoven into the fabric of this wedding. From their music venue to the guitar picks in the bride’s hair, the DIY record luminary centerpieces and the guestbook guitar, this couple rocked their wedding. Plus, their mis-matched bridesmaids not only out-shoed each other with some killer stilettos, but wait till you see their faces during the bouquet toss!

A book sighting and a whole lot of lovey-dovey makeouts

It’s been a while since we’ve seen an Offbeat Bride the Book shot! And these two are awesomely retro, which doubles the fun. I would like to snag both of those pairs of sunglasses. But this week is going to take a slightly different turn. The Flickr Pool, Pinterest, and the Offbeat Bride Tribe was full of romance shots and K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

Cthulhu cake toppers, many pies, and some colorful details

Two white dresses, two red bouquets, and two huge grins: check! Justice and Tasha both look ecstatic after their ceremony. There was also some multicolored dresses, a wedding party in jewel-toned purple, playing cards in bouquets, and a rainbow of handfasting cords. It makes a dull Monday much brighter.

Natasha & Jordan’s Roaring Twenties theater wedding

This retro ’20s bash was held in a theater, had three headpiece changes (my kind of girl), and eclectic music (including a ceremony serenade from the bride’s father’s band!). And get ready to get a toothache from the tutu flower girls and kids reading Shel Silverstein at the ceremony. PLUS: a 1920s-themed photo booth makes everyone era-ready!
