Liza & Kyle’s rustic Scandinavian-inspired wedding

Give us a rustic venue and gorgeous flowers any day. But add in some Wiccan and Scandanavian handfasting details, awesome rustic and mustache-y decor, and some Vengaboys(!) and we’re smitten. Take a peek at this wedding for some sweet silliness and good old fashioned fun.

Andreas & Ariel’s island hippie/raver forest freak-fest (10th anniversary flashback!)

10 years ago today, the wedding that ultimately kicked off the whole weird world that is Offbeat Bride happened. On August 7th 2004, I married Andreas. Then I wrote a book about it. Then I launched a website about the book, and now here we are. To celebrate, I figured I’d fill out a wedding profile myself. If these pics make you curious, you can get the Offbeat Bride book on Amazon for like 50 cents.

Alysha & Geb’s “actors in love” superhero wedding

It’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s Offbeat Bride’s comic book-clad and caped superhero theme week! Get in the telephone booth and change into your wedding-gawking superhero tights — you’re in for crime-fighting fun. This time we’ve got two actors who fell in love on the stage and wanted to celebrate it superhero-style. Get ready for singing and dancing bridesmaids, a whole lotta Hanson music, and the return of… THE UNITY SANDWICH!

Danielle & Rob’s pin-up style-meets-comic books wedding

It’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s Offbeat Bride’s comic book-clad and caped superhero theme week! Get in the telephone booth and change into your wedding-gawking superhero tights — you’re in for crime-fighting fun. Today we’re looking at two retro and nerdy birds who combined these two loves into a kick-ass party. Think DIY flowers, a classic car, and a life-size Spider-Man and Mary Jane cut-out! Oh, and just wait until you see the daddy/daughter first look.
