A dark glam Utah wedding with a live ring tattooing as seen on @offbeatbride #weddings #blackdress #ringtattoo

A real time ring tattoo at this goth Utah wedding on Friday the 13th

Let’s set the scene: a glam black dress, a dapper long-locked groom, a Friday the 13th wedding, all in Utah. The bride, Stephanie, is a tattoo artist and even inked the wedding band on her groom Larry’s finger right after the ceremony. It was a hugely DIYed affair in a stunning venue filled with paper roses (made from pages of anatomy books and sheet music!) and hints of darkness among tons of light. Let’s gaze at this chic meets goth Utah wedding.

Lesbian wedding after 20 years as seen on @offbeatbride

Two ladies finally celebrate 20 years with a garden wedding in Utah

The Red Butte Garden in Salt Lake City was the garden backdrop to this “big gay wedding.” They included their three children into all aspects of the day with movie soundtracks, a kids’ table, glow sticks, and more. Other highlights included their gourmet grilled cheese bar, ice sculptures (with the couple as Minions!), a LEGO cake for the kids, a cake inspired by album cover art, and loads of succulents.

A Latin American fiesta wedding with tap dancing, cacti, tequila carts, and opera singing

Just going to lay all this out there: authentic Mexican fare, a mother/daughter tap dance, El Salvadoran wedding traditions, a live jazz band, opera singing by a bridesmaid, poetry, homemade cacti can centerpieces, a tequila cart making rounds around the dance floor, and the groom even drew portraits of their cat which were featured on the wedding invitations. YAS.

Ashley & Dan’s nerdy mountain weekend wedding with a video game cake

Come for the glorious mountain-y, forest-y ceremony setting, stay for the geeky Legend of Zelda and 8-bit details. We can learn from how organized this couple was during planning AND from how perfectly their wedding weekend schedule aligned. It was the perfect combination of packed with fun and laid-back. This wedding also boasts the return of a long-time friend: the ring bear! It’s an adorable must-see, as is this whole shebang.

Our heads asploded over Ali & Olivia’s fairy tale wedding with pop-up centerpieces and rainbow cake

The pop-up centerpieces alone are click-worthy, but just wait until you see the brides’ outfits, five-tiered rainbow cake, fairy flower girls, gondola ride to the ceremony, and illustrated program. This wedding has so many amazing details that our heads asploded. Oh, and don’t miss the amazing flipbook photo booth favors. We get to see them in action!

Libbie & Paul’s Emerald City to Red Rocks road trip wedding

This couple fell in love with Arches National Park as well as with each other, so it was only natural that they seal the deal among the majestic red rocks, destination-style. With a reception held in their native Seattle, it boasted the best of both worlds. But one of our favorite parts is the bride’s handmade paper flower bouquet — it will blow you away!
