Jen & David’s laid-back Tennessee barbecue wedding
These two were not getting married — no way, no how. Except then they did, which made the whole shebang offbeat in itself. On top of that, they opted for a casual, outdoor ceremony with some kick-ass barbecue afterwards from the local joint they love. It was simple, small, and perfect for these two, who exemplify our simple weddings week.
Crystal & Mika’s rooftop dance-fest DIY wedding
DIY cocktail-style food, drinks, and reception made this colorful rooftop celebration personalized and kick-ass. All of their crew got busy making dresses, jewelry, and mix CDs, too. And they busted out three signature cocktails worth gawking at. Check out these lovely ladies getting hitched under the sun.
Joanna & Julian’s book-themed bilingual pub wedding
These two celebrated their love of lit with book centerpieces, comics and books table numbers, portraits from comic artists, and a giant book card box. They even made origami flowers from comic pages. But to spice things up, they had an awesome swing number for their first dance.
Lauren & Johnny’s rockin’ seaside aquarium boda
An authentic taco bar, a garage rock band, and the most awesome hand-illustrated invitation… need I say more? This South-of-the-border-influenced bash boasted lots of fun details and a gorgeous seaside ceremony. And you’ll love the bride’s Burning Man-inspired flaming copper flower bouquet!
A Gorn groom, Super Freak dancing, and a Bender card box
Everyone in the Offbeat Flickr pool pulled out their crazy hats with dancing, masks, funky socks, carrying each other around, and general mayhem. It was ultra fun this week for geeks, nerdfighters, and Futurama fans. Check out the full moon madness in this week’s Monday Montage.
Jenny & Damon’s quirky steampunk Buddhist wedding
There are a lot of things to love about this wedding like the bride’s silver and blue dress, the groom’s monocle and cane, and the surprising sake ceremony. But frankly, I’m in it for the doughnut cake and glow sticks. There is definitely something for everyone at this creative shindig.
