Haley & Joe are totally Burners, and since half my friends are at Burning Man this week, I figured it was the perfect time to feature this fabulously PORANGE wedding!

The offbeat bride: Haley, Nanny

Her offbeat partner: Joe, Engineer

Location & date of wedding: Joaquin Miller Park Cascade, Oakland, CA. June 29, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: My favorite color is pink, he likes orange. I like cats, he likes rabbits. So instead of having a wedding where I picked everything and he said, “Yes Dear” this wedding was all about our “Us-ness”. Pink and orange make Porange, and Porange suits us.

I’m not sure what else to say other than swooning and falling out of my chair. I love the hot pink and pale turquoise scheme of Tasche & Matt’s 2005 wedding in East Hoathly, UK — it’s extra awesome when you see the whole wedding party.

Ooh, and the shoes.

…And omg, the cake!

You can check out the whole set, but this this is my favorite shot. Yay for laughs and smiles and pink hair!

Every now and then I see wedding pictures that make me immediately blurt out “I WANT TO KNOW THESE PEOPLE!” That in mind, here are five reasons Kyla & Dylan’s wedding at the Scott Carpenter Skatepark in Boulder looks awesome:

1. Love the bouquet.
2. Check out how they got down the aisle.
3. The bride’s maroonish veil is awesome.
4. I want to adopt the whole family.
5. And how rad are the bride’s shoes?

Check out the full set.

After a little web snooping, I even found their wedding video! *swoon*

Who says you need to stick with combos like white/lilac or chocolate/pink or ivory/mint? I vote for more dramatic wedding color themes, like the sage/orange combo that Tony and Melanie rocked at their amazing 2004 wedding in California.

The entire photoset is pure magic. Colors are just the beginning of the great inspiration you’ll find over here.

Jane Doe’s UK wedding almost reminds me a of Jessie and Daryl’s Unholy Affair what with the bride’s red dress and the retro bridemaids. But Jane Doe’s wedding is a bit less noire and more fetishy, the groom a more emo (if only I’d been able to convince my groom to wear eyeliner!), and the bride’s bustle more bowed. I suppose the fetish angle makes perfect sense, since the bride runs a latex clothing shop!

Check out the photos of this gorgeous and deeply stylish wedding.

The offbeat bride: Kate Davies, Barmaid

My offbeat groom: Lee Davies, Delivery Driver

Location & date of wedding: September 3rd, 2005 in Ammanford, South Wales

What made our wedding offbeat: After 10 years together, we decided to throw a big fat funky retro wedding. We had a tight budget so I made everything: invitations, wedding cake, favors, order of service, seven bridesmaid dresses — not to mention my own dress. And I did it all in keeping with our pink and green theme.
