The offbeat bride: Mary, Web Producer

Her offbeat partner: Charles, Site Acquisition Specialist

Date and location of wedding: Bali Hai Restaurant, San Diego, CA — July 16, 2011

Our offbeat wedding at a glance: We handcrafted as many elements as we could, and we really tried to keep a focus on infusing our personalities into just about everything. We eliminated the things that had no meaning to us (being given away, tossing of anything) and tried to jazz things up in other areas: a cake with flames and ushers on roller skates!

We love our retro weddings, and this jazz and vintage-inspired wedding kicks ass. Some of the details included a tattooed and victory-rolled bride (with two dresses!), a groom with an epic 'stache, and super fun details (like the lollipop bouquets). Though there was a snafu with the first band, the final band rocked the crowd with jazz and swing.

This wedding packs a visual punch with a gorgeous cathedral in Scotland, awesome kilts, and most amazing sunny day for the UK. The handmade dress (made by the bride's mother!) is a testament to craftsmanship. Oh, and the gorgeous art deco-inspired cake, and unexpected wedding crashers are worth a look too!

Retro dresses, victory rolls, in-ceremony Facebook updates, a pre-ceremony cocktail party, lots of polka-dots, and an impromptu feat of strength on the dance floor: it's a retro wedding for everyone!

It's been awhile since we had a collection of brides in spectacles, so I thought it was high time for another look. We definitely get a lot of them in our real life weddings, so we know it's popular among our Offbeat Brides. Plus, there's a helping of grooms in glasses too. So put on your glasses so you can see what the hell is going on in this superficial snack of sexy bespectacled brides!

This retro-loving pair incorporated bowling, Vegas, rockabilly fashion, and photo op hijinks into their awesome two-part day. This included an intimate ceremony in Vegas, followed by a crazy bowling party in Dallas with a candy bar and the most adorable sundae-shaped flower centerpieces!

Our first natural Black hair post was kind of a hit, so planning a part deux was a no-brainer. I raided Pinterest for more and came away with a ton of new favorites. Check out this second homage to natural textures.

After hiring him to color her comics, he colored her world. D'aw! And a theme was born: color! That, along with everything playful and awesome, makes this artsy and geeky wedding a feast for the eyes and fun for all ages. Though a few mishaps were born of Hurricane Irene, somehow it all came together in the end.
