OBT member Jessica was Googling flowers the other day and discovered this totally awesome bouquet alternative:

It's from Zoony Balloons and it's called "the Zoony Bouquet." And as Jessica noted, "how cute would this be for a carnival or circus themed wedding!?!"

Well, lemme answer that question Jessica… Very. That's how cute this would be.

So, we've already established how much we love Hawaii-based photographer Marina at Red Heart Photography, ya? Ho Brah, do yourselves a favor and click on the photo below to check out her newest, most ono, wedding exploits with offbeat couple Amy and Jesse…

This carnival-themed wedding pretty much had it all… tattooed wedding party, high rockabilly/circus fashion, adorable groomsmen in suspenders, blue hair, beautiful Hawaiian landscapes, two wedding dresses and bridal shoes that'll make you do a spit-take.

Remember the wedding style-induced fashion-gasm I had last week? Well get ready for more of it, because Janleen's been kind enough to give us the whole scoop!

The offbeat bride: Jaleen, Designer/Project Manager/Flying Trapeze Instructor

Her offbeat partner: Andrew, Designer/DJ/Juggler

Location & date of wedding: Supperclub, San Francisco CA — September 5, 2009

What made our wedding offbeat: My dad's friend asked him if he was walking me down the aisle, and he replied, "I don't even know if there's going to be an aisle!" So much of this was our version of wedding: reimagined.

Supperclub is this strange white-box dinner theatre/nightclub venue where everyone sits on beds along the room's perimeter. Our party started at 8:45 pm with a cocktail hour in the front all-red room, which we attended in party clothes, and then stole away to change into wedding attire.

OBT member Gypsy Marie, aka. Cutiebookworm, and friends, have created some old-timey carnival cutouts for their October wedding. They used a book of circus art for inspiration and came up with these babies…

To tie in some themes from their wedding, the conjoined couple is wearing outfits similar to their wedding clothes, and the werewolf is holding a rubber ducky since they asked guests to draw a duck on their RSVP's.

The offbeat bride: Jenn, Musician and Music Teacher

Her offbeat partner: Cody, Social Security

Location & date of wedding: City Arts Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on June 28th, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: We had a wedding with a concert theme, or rather a rock concert with a wedding in the middle. Our invitations were concert tickets with instructions to please wear your favorite concert t-shirt.
