Reader Round-up: Fuzzy cuteness, custom invites, and non-floral bouquets

Audrey & Hal’s flight and adventure-inspired wedding

This week we’re letting our hair down and getting back to nature in the wild, wild outdoors! And this one is all about an mountain-loving, cliff-hiking, wanderlusting couple in northern Idaho. There is much to love: map flowers, tear-jerking vows, and epic scenery. They even had meaningful cupcake flavors!

A capelet, cootie catchers, and a giant doughnut at this Georgia wedding

Emily and Tim take the prize for masters of subtlety. At a glance, you may not even notice the bitchin’ geeky and superhero details because everything is just so damned elegant! But those details are there and they are FUN: a little red capelet (to match Emily’s subtle fire engine red hair streaks), D20 cookie favors, and their Batman and Superman sneakers.

Chloe & Rudy’s chic goth historic mansion wedding

Let’s talk about the fashion going on here: black lace, Doc Martens, brocade tail coat, leather harness, and spiked Jeffrey Campbells — it’s a gothic wonderland of noir chic. Add in the backdrop of a haunted historic mansion and all the spiders, skulls, and pumpkins you could ask for on a dark night, and you’ve got this elegant affair (with Offbeat Bride vendor The Reverend D at the ceremony helm!).

Leah & Jaime’s Friday the 13th dance-fest wedding

A Friday the 13th wedding with a zombie-inspired ceremony, and skull details (including matching tattoos!) — this means a pretty rad and gothic wedding with tons of gorgeous touches. And wait until you get a load of their reception dance-fest details: an LED dance floor AND a must-see Dance Dance Revolution arcade setup, which led to a most excellent impromptu group dance to Grease songs!
