Let me count the ways I love this photo
This shot just showed up in the Offbeat Bride pool, and I just spent 10 minutes studying it like a work of art. Uh, hi. Obsess much? Here's what caught my eye:
- Pink-haired bride (is that Atomic Pink?)
- Gorgeous ink on both of 'em
- Groom in a pink shirt
- ...with rolled up sleeves
- ...and a vest with no jacket
- Groom in sneakers
- The formal setting — love the contrast!
- Mohawk
- The bride's delicate little headpiece
- The way the soft pink dress matches the soft pink bouquet
- The groom's glasses
There are more pictures from this German wedding over here.

Tromp l'oeil love.
And we make our case one more time: offbeat weddings can still be freakin' classy, y'all.

This wedding is so elegant, but unique with its little details. I can't stop looking through their pictures. Beyond obsessed with the bride's hair & dress!
Holly said
Soooooo beautiful (both of them)! This really reaffirms my desire to have my hair neon orange for my wedding.
Evita said
When you're finished counting, add one more for me! Yup, I'd have to agree on Atomic Pink, my personal favorite.:)
MarquesaJen said
So cool! I was never able to carry off a full head of pink, but she looks AWESOME!
Laddie said
*giggles* This looks a bit like what my wedding will be like and that's ossum.

I had my hair dyed Atomic Pink for about 8 months. Fresh dyed hair like that….stains everything. My pillows, my necklaces, the headrest in the car…
I wonder if it caused her any issues….
Lovely picture, though.
Rachel said
Aww, I've had dyed hair quite a lot. Atomic pink currently, actually! Yes, it stains, but I'm sure this isn't her first rodeo and she knew what to expect. Surely it didn't cause any major issue? I don't see what issue it would have caused. Sleep on crappy pillow cases, don't wear white hoodies, problem solved.

Hm, I was expecting this with my currently very pink hair .. with orange also, but didn't get any. My nails and palms were a different matter but only right after washing it. I use 'Crazy Colour'.
I suppose having it up the way she does here stops staining what you're wearing on the day being an issue. Crappy pillow cases just incase though! I'd be mortified if I ruined the hotels bedding :-s

One of the things I loved about Germany when I lived there was how 'normal' it was to have hot pink hair.
Miss Jane said
Makes me want to have short hair again! Such a great photo!!
Becca said
Yay for Atomic Pink!!! And double yay for dudes in pink shirts!
Koko said
Wow! I definitely want to set this as my desktop image. Is that wrong? I love absolutely everything about this photo.

Ariel, PLEASE track this bride down, and get her to write about her wedding!
Sara A. said
This picture is awesome! She totally gives me the confidence to cut off my hair the way I've been wanting to for the past year!
marielle said
I love everything about this. So freakin COOL!!!! Wish there were some close-ups though. Yes please let's have details, too!!!!!!!
Lindsey said
I second (or third, whatever) that, Ariel PLEASE try to track her down! I'd love to see some close-up shots of her hairdo! I'm soo excited, my dress is going to be pink tea-length with fuschia shoes and a rose bouquet about her bouquet's color, and now I'm definitely set on if not doing a full head of pink hair, then generously streaking it. My fiance and groomsmen are doing the no jacket thing too!

Everything in pink looks beautiful, I wish I could dye my hair pink but my job has a "dress code" but been thinking about dying my wedding dress pink for my re do wedding event since my first one was pretty much distroyed. Love the wedding posted here though!!!
