bearded groom

We firmly believe that no groom should have to shave for his wedding. Grooms with beards are awesome! Short, long, bushy, stubbly… BRING ON THE GROOM BEARDS!

Poe and rock wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

Once upon a midnight dreary, we fell for this Poe wedding

Tamara and Sam’s theme is seriously one of our favorites: “rock ‘n’ Poe” — all things Edgar Allen Poe meets rock ‘n’ roll. They DIYed a lot of the goth details, and dinner was a breakfast bar. Between the fabulous black gown (which was actually billed as a “mother of the bride dress” — wut), the killer groom outfit and epic beard, and the black and white lace cake, we love this wedding with a love that’s more than a love. Okay, no more Poe quotes, I promise.

A budtender kept the weed favors legit at this Portland “weeding”

Whitney and John’s Christmas tree farm wedding in Portland started out with golf carts, popcorn, and champagne and a sweet outdoor ceremony. It was followed by an amazing family-style dinner in the woods. One interesting tidbit was that it was the first “wedding” in Portland of its kind. They had a weed bar complete with “budtender”! While this isn’t for everyone’s wedding (hell, it’s not even legal in most states!), having a budtender to keep things legal and controlled can be your ticket to an awesome and legal weed bar at your wedding. Let’s check out their whole wedding, including the awesome weed bar tent.

See why everyone plugged their ears at this Australian rustic wedding

Amy and Dylan’s lovely, Australian rustic wedding in Yallingup in the south west region of Western Australia was full of sweet moments. Don’t miss the bride’s awesome undercut hair with gorgeous florals, minimal and super chic decor, and of course, why the wedding guests and bridesmaids plugged their ears at the ceremony.

Weekday wedding at a diner as seen on @offbeatbride

Tiny, gold, and floral: this “cheez-y” weekday wedding in a diner wins

This adorable pair got married two years to the day at the place they first met: a diner! The bride DIYed the hell out of everything with gold, florals, and vintage-inspired decor and her own pastries. It was tiny, it was intimate, and it was emotional (especially for the sweet flower girls/daughters!). You’ll be won over by this amazing weekday wedding with a “cheez-y” twist.

Ten-year non-wedding celebration as seen on @offbeatbride

A “10 years on fire” non-wedding in Madrid (with fire dancers!)

Maria and Sito wanted to celebrate 10 years of dating with an unofficial non-wedding rite with all their loved ones in Madrid, Spain. They didn’t want any official protocol, so they decided on a “ten years on fire” theme. This meant, of course, fire dancers, fire rituals, and a focus on reuse of materials for the decor. DIY was the order of the day! Let’s relish in their joy.
