An unexpected venue for a southern gothic gay wedding

Offbeat couple Brian and Josh gave us nothing but class and elegance on their big day… oh, and an epic outfit change! And just WAIT till you find out the venue where they were married.

A celestial wedding with an astrology-based seating chart

Behold Alli and Raine’s celestial wedding! Stars, space, and astrology are symbolic to them and they made sure to include all of these in their wedding décor. The reception room had balloons, streamers, and table décor reflecting the theme. The seating chart was astrology based, and each table had a different sign… so if you were a Scorpio, you sat at the Scorpio table!

This queer retro hippie wedding had a flower-power liquor gun

Close your eyes, and travel back in time… oh wait, you don’t have to, thanks to this queer retro hippie wedding! Kayla and Kayla (yes, these brides have the same name – cute!) wanted the day to be tons of fun for their guests with games and lots of dancing, and from the looks of it (thanks, TMinspired Photography for capturing this gorgeous day!), mission majorly accomplished.

This transgender lesbian wedding had a PB&J unity sandwich

We were high school sweethearts! I asked Cassandra on our first date because I wanted her to take me to prom, but I planned to split up when she left for college in the fall. We’ve been glued together for eight years now.

When your wedding theme is JENNIFER COOLIDGE

Christopher and Joshua had a gloriously colorful wedding in the heart of New York City. Wait until you see how a subtle Jennifer Coolidge theme showed up throughout the day (we’re going to be talking forever about that cake), and how Jennifer herself blessed their union!

queer winter garden wedding Events By Merida5 alternative wedding ideas from Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride)

The teal velvet suit at this queer winter garden wedding is seriously fire

Winter weddings are WAY underrated, in our opinion, and this queer winter garden wedding is all the proof we need. By choosing a plant nursery as their venue, Erin and Annie were able to achieve a natural, outdoorsy vibe many people might think isn’t possible for a wintertime ceremony, but these photos from Events by Merida prove them all wrong!
