The offbeat bride: Nicole, Landscape Architect

Her offbeat partner: Stew, Photographer & Designer

Location & date of wedding: Hernshead Pavilion Central Park, NYC - July 13th, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: We found out about Hernshead Pavilion, a Victorian pavilion by one of the lakes in Central Park. It cost us only $25 for a two hour permit. Since we don’t share in a fear of the number 13 (it’s one of my personal favorite numbers) we were able to get the time we wanted despite our short planning period! Hooray!

This is what happens when the groom steals the flower girl’s wreath…

That said, I think grooms with floral wreaths should become an offbeat trend. The cuteness is too much! (PS: OBT members can admire more photos from this wedding over here.)

So, remember months ago when I did that post on short haired brides? And I included that one bride with the most awesome spikey hair and the Exploding Dog tattoo? Well, her name is Lindsay and someone tipped her off to the fact that she was on offbeat bride, and now we all get to see much much more of her wedding.

Turns out that actually wasn’t a feather fascinator in her hair — it was a little floral headpiece. Oh and also? The infamous Martha pom-poms figured prominently at the wedding.

A while back I answered an advice question about how to style your dreadlocks on your wedding day. Well, Chloe here may rocking my very favorite dread style ever.

Tidy with the hairline baby hairs slicked over and a bit formal with those rosebuds — but still fully textured and genuine.

(Thanks to drtoast for the photo, and Amy for bringing the wedding to my attention!)

I wish you could see a bit more of the bride’s hair in this shot — she’s got some amazing styling going on what with hot-rolled chunks rolling over sunflowers and daisies and then little wild tendrils all over.

The style is casual and perfect for late summer/autum weddings. I love it and wish I could see a bit more of what was going on … still, inspiring!
