Winter got you down? This week we're bringing you some spring weddings for inspiration from March to May!

The offbeat bride: Holly, Graphic Designer

Her offbeat partner: Seth, Designer, Smiler, Laugher, High-Fiver, and Architect

Location & date of wedding: Telfair Museum's Jepson Center, Savannah, GA — April 24, 2010

Our offbeat wedding at a glance: Bold colors, a museum venue, a trolley, a cathedral, close family, and a broken foot. I broke my foot a week before the wedding, but thanks to family and friends, walked down the aisle that day for the first time in a week and danced the night away (from the waist up, that is). The dances were not traditional. The father/daughter dance was the Hokey Pokey, which was so much fun. The mother/son dance was choreographed to James Brown, complete with sunglasses.

A diverse group of friends and family deserves diverse activities like fire spinning, hula hooping, live music, and of course… streaking. Wait, what? This couple had their ceremony kicked off in a seriously funny way. With their trusty pooch in tow, zoot suit-clad groom, surprise group blessing, and all the elements at their disposal, this was an outdoor wedding to remember.

Things that rock about this wedding: DIY barefoot sandals, hula hoops, scenery to die for (or at least get a ticket from a park ranger for!), infectious smiles, and a motorcycle getaway. When the bridal headpiece is a motorcycle helmet, you know you're dealing with some kick-ass people.

This wedding takes its direction from a desire to leave a small carbon footprint and to locally-source as much as possible. Having it in the state's first Platinum LEED-certified building was definitely apropos. The homemade hula hoops, butternut squash soup, and folk music were icing on this Star Trek-topped cake.

The Irish got their week last week, so now it's time to celebrate the Scottish with Kilt Week! The first kilt-tastic wedding features a couple who knew each other in high school and reconnected after many years, a marriage, and some kids. Awww.

You may remember this fire-hooping, first dance song belting, fabulous couple from last week's Monday Montage. Here is their wedding in it's full fabulousness! – Becca

It feels like time has been flying by lately. Luckily for me, another week means another chance to share more INCREDIBLE photos from the Offbeat Bride Flickr pool. Don't forget to submit your photos to the pool if you'd like us to consider them for the next Monday Montage.

Sparkly and Bones couldn't imagine having anything but an epic, rock 'n roll, burlesque night club wedding. There was burlesque, trapeze, hooping, skits, and an anti-bridezilla movie. How much more epic could it have been? Answer: It couldn't have been more epic. -Becca
