transgender

We’ve been talking about transgender weddings since 2008, and love supporting folks as they find trans wedding outfits (whether it’s a dress or suit or a combination of both!), lots of inspirational photos, and ceremony ideas. Depending on how you identify, you may also want to check out our nonbinary weddings, too!

Erin & Jay’s queer Jewish Dominican wedding

This pair has an awesomely diverse community willing to celebrate and totally donate their time and energy into making this wedding rock. And boy, did it. In addition to the bride’s handmade dress (out of a sari!) and groom’s kick-ass suit, there was wedding party aisle dancing, ukulele toasts, and a giant group hug right after the ceremony.

Amanda & Kaleb’s tattooed lakeside wedding

A wedding planning bride, heartfelt vows, a gorgeous lakeside ceremony, and a dessert buffet that will make you hungry: this wedding is a feast for the eyes. Even with a budget, they knew how to prioritize what matters to them. Oh, and definitely check out the bridesmaids in boots! So adorable.

Kathleen & Lucky’s traditional 1950s wedding

This pair is a self-described June and Ward Cleaver queer couple, which is just rad. The wedding itself mirrored this with its 1950s-style traditional vows and style. They also found time to sneak off during the reception for a little alone time, which was not missed by the hooting and hollering crowd.

Liz & Elly’s queer trans lesbian secular church wedding

These two initially didn’t know they were planning their wedding on Transgender Day of Remembrance, but they ended up embracing the overlap with a moment of silence and a hymn in honor of the day. They also stuck to their guns when they decided to keep this celebration very small. But there was one member of the wedding party who had to be there: their dog!

Duchess Clothier: Incredible custom suits in Portland & San Francisco

It’s a good time to be an offbeat groom, my friends. In the past couple weeks we’ve introduced you to ties that don’t suck and boutonnieres with mega personality. And now, thanks to Duchess Clothier, groom outfits have gone from “which rental suit would you like?” to almost as many styles and variations as there are wedding dress options. (As it should be!)

A queertastic gothic Victorian celebration of love

Corsets, sword canes, cat cupcake toppers, and a stylin’ gender-neutral party of “wing people.” That’s the fun in store with this celebration of throwing caution and gender to the wind. Plus, there’s a heaping helping of gothic Victorian fashion.
