We couldn't stop ourselves from doing another theme week once we saw a pattern of era-inspired weddings. This time? The 1920s!

The offbeat bride: Shannon, Website Admin and Perpetual Student

Her offbeat partner: Fran, Tile Guy

Date and location of wedding: Pebble Hill Interfaith Church, Doylestown, Pennsylvania, United States — October 1, 2011

Our offbeat wedding at a glance: We chose to hold the ceremony at Pebble Hill Interfaith Church due to the vibe of the location, the price, and because it represents our spiritual views. We have families and friends with very mixed backgrounds and we felt the interfaith nature of Pebble Hill would honor all of them. We also wanted to have a 1920s theme, not with a Gatsby feel but rather what our grandmothers may have done: a backyard '20s wedding.

Skye and Cody celebrated their wedding in New Orleans with a 1920s-inspired feel and lots of peacock details. There were lots of lovely decor choices including cool branches, peacock bouquets, and hanging lights. Some zombie details (including the groom's cake and the bride's SHOES!), tearful speeches, and a bubbly exit rounded out an awesome soiree.

A shared passion for the 1920s, ample props and costumes, and a historic (and haunted!) prison setting well worthy of the task — looks like a roaring wedding for any flapper at heart. The best part is that this couple's guests totally got into the the theme! It's the best thing any theme wedding can have: commitment to the bit!

I'm ~~kind of~~ REALLY excited right now, because my favorite clothing store, Unique Vintage, is now our newest offbeat sponsor! I can't wait to show you their amazing vintage-inspired dresses, both in their collection and even in my personal collection!

Tori and Clayton intrigued and delighted us in our Valentine's Day Monday Montage — Cat ears and tails? Pink hair and pirates? San Francisco land marks? We wanted more. Well here we go…

Kaci & Roy got hitched at The Cathedral of Junk — her in a 1920s gown and him in a Victorian top hat and tails (and pants and stuff ). Their ceremony featured a Unity Volcano ceremony(!) and a reading from Shel Silverstein. After their outdoor ceremony, they headed to an old Austin music venue for beer, BBQ, and southern fried foods.
