Jessica & Eric’s West Coast music festival-meets-traditional wedding

A gown with gorgeous plumage, winged children, naughty ring bearers, and a leg lamp cake that actually lit up! If that isn’t enough to grab you, there were scantily clad performers covered in food. WUT! Oh, and see if you can spy a certain Offbeat Bride staffer among the guests. OH: there is also a slightly NSFW photo. Be warned (and titillated).

Piñatas filled with scratch-off cards, a little steampunk fashion paired with casual wear, and a gorgeous island setting make this wedding a sight to see. Despite a few mishaps with the bouquet and the budget, this pair celebrated ten years together with a bang.

Maddy & Jacob’s garden and arcade geeky wedding

A rainbow xkcd cake with raptor cake topper, an arcade party with Donkey Kong favors, and a gorgeous garden ceremony that blends tradition while shaking things up. I know this is some of y’all’s dream wedding. And it certainly was for this pair.
