Kiona & Jennifer’s magickal barefoot solstice wedding in the desert

This pair has a strong connection to the desert, so a barefoot desert ceremony was a must. Add in lots of handmade, vegetarian, and eco-friendly touches, and you’ve got a truly gorgeous and personal wedding (that somehow totally avoided the scorching Arizona summer heat). And don’t miss the awesome, impromptu “rad bromance” dance duet!

Shelley & Erik’s crafty DIY and bluegrass wedding

These two are artsy and it shows. This pair crafted themselves into a tizzy, but the result were some gorgeous details. Even the portable toilets were pretty! But add in a bouquet toss/wire snafu, a groomsgirl who matches the groomsmen, and the bride’s awesome green dress, and there’s way more to see than just the decor.

Monika & Alex’s eclectic community-supported love celebration

This DIYed wedding has quite a few surprises. Try an officiant putting the couple through a trial that included interpretive dance! Offbeat Brides have been submitting lots of gorgeous woodsy weddings recently, so we’ve compiled a few of our favorites in a forest theme week.

Andrea & Patrick’s enchanted tiki and karaoke wedding

This couple wanted a super fun party at a bar with karaoke, a Bloody Mary bar, and even a unity tiki torch. They may have had to change their venue at the last moment, but with the help of friends, it was even better than expected. And if they were worried about guests being too shy to sing karaoke, boy were they wrong!
