Michelle & Dan’s scooters and papel picado wedding
This wedding is an explosion of turquoise and red, along with touches of what they love: Mexican folkloric art, scooters, and their Boston Terrier! This bride may not have been a fan of weddings initially, but it looks like she and her groom embraced personalization and ended up loving it. And seriously, their dog in a handmade dress is too adorable to miss.
Confetti, a shoe game, and some kick-ass cake toppers
Marianne and Ad get doused in flora after their ceremony. Marianne actually made her headdress, dried the petals for the confetti, and made the confetti cones! This was just the start of the celebration photos that came in the Tribe, Pinterest, and the Offbeat Flickr Pool.
Emily & Jordan’s fly-fishing and cookies English teacher wedding
We were entranced by this bride’s cookie bouquet and demanded to see MOAR! Thankfully, she obliged and gave us this amazing mountainside budget wedding with little touches of fly-fishing, homebrew, eco-friendly details, and even a fingerprint fish!
Shelley & Erik’s crafty DIY and bluegrass wedding
These two are artsy and it shows. This pair crafted themselves into a tizzy, but the result were some gorgeous details. Even the portable toilets were pretty! But add in a bouquet toss/wire snafu, a groomsgirl who matches the groomsmen, and the bride’s awesome green dress, and there’s way more to see than just the decor.
Sarah & David’s “love never dies” rockabilly wedding
Rockabilly can be a great equalizer among generations. This pair took advantage of that and crafted a sweet little 1950s-style soiree that everyone could enjoy. Even grandpa ended up with temporary tattoos all over his noggin. Add in paper retro car centerpieces, a mini juke box, some sliders and bottled soda, and the party’s made.
A simple Sonoma seaside soiree
Jessica and Ina shared a simple and elegant ceremony on the Sonoma coast in Jenner, California. Friends and family helped with cooking, flowers, and music. While some guests were cooking, others were getting polka dancing lessons!
