Lisa Marie & Oscar’s retro polka-dotted and tattooed Manhattan wedding
We love us some rockabilly, and we also love it when there’s a chic tulle headpiece, flash tattoo decor, a squee-worthy first dance, and our own [vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/the-reverend-d"]Rev. D[/vendor-heart] presiding! And you’ll love the traditional Polish-Slovak bridal dance that made the groom prove he will move mountains (of people!) to get to his bride.
Steph & Mark’s 1950s rockabilly wedding
We love us some rockabilly chic, and this wedding has got the goods. Classic cars, victory rolls, a tattoo-inspired cake, and a handmade black retro dress. Add in the wise-cracking brother who walked the bride down the aisle and some sweet family memorial photos, and you’ve got the recipe for a family-focused good time.
What logistics should I consider for a seated bridal party?
When I stood in my brother’s bridal party I just kept wishing I could see around the maid of honor’s head and I thought “Man, being honored is great and all but I’ve got the worst seat in the house.” Plus, some of our shyer friends might feel more comfortable sitting instead of standing as a part of the show.
I can’t seem to find anything around Offbeat Bride about others with a bridal parted seated around them so I’m wondering how often it’s done and if there are any logistics I should consider.
Robin & Ken’s retro pin-ups and greasers rockabilly wedding
This pair of rockabillies wanted to go all-out with retro style: record place settings, cake centerpieces with tattoo designs, pin-up and greaser stations (for timely coifs!), and a killer band. You have to see what the groom did at the reception to surprise the bride. Let’s just say it involves Elvis. Oh, and I think the groom’s “cake” will appeal to some of you.
