Her offbeat groom: Todd / Production Assistant Location & date of wedding: Miami University Campus, Oxford, OH. Oct. 13, 2007 What made our wedding offbeat: It started with Todd proposing without a ring, saying we should pick one out/design it together. And that began the trend for the whole wedding, a DIY eco-friendly nuptials that really told all our guests who we are.
Her offbeat partner: Evan, Sound Engineer/Guitar Player Location & date of wedding: Friend’s home in Miami, FL. 2/29/2008 What made our wedding offbeat: Evan and I spent the whole day together with our bridal party, bucking tradition. We also had a Pagan handfasting, complete with broom-jumping. The reception was a BBQ buffet with karaoke and a Super Mario Brothers-themed wedding cake. Read the rest of this entry »  Looking at this photo from Rachel & Ali’s recent Persian wedding in San Francisco made me drooly — look at that amazing spread of food in front of them! Om nom nom nom… Really, all the photos from their wedding are amazing — clearly, they had some talented guests! I’m especially fond of this one from their Chinatown stroll, and Rachel’s fab birdcage veil. (Thanks to Mevrouw Cupcake for the photo!)
Her offbeat partner: Adam, casino chump and art student Location & date of wedding: Riverside, CA @ Cafe Sevilla. March 29, 2008 What made our wedding offbeat: We tried to go DIY with all we could. I have a love of all things antique so I went with a birdcage theme — I had them for centerpieces, on the DIY invites, I wore a birdcage veil, etc. I opted out of flowers galore and only got some for myself, the girls, and the guys wore single daisies. We had cupcakes, and no formal dinner. I let my girls wear what they wanted, I just said I’d prefer black. I walked my mother and grandfather down the aisle (to Cat Power’s “sea of love!”) to their seats. Read the rest of this entry »
But chandeliers are also showing up on invites, like the handmade ones here the left from Mary Katherine, these lovely invites from Etsy seller EnfinLaVoila, and these invites from Wedding Paper Divas. I think the real value in a fancy-ass chandelier comes from the contrast of all that frou-frou-ness in an unexpected environment, like this picture.
Oh-oh, and be sure to check out Madeline’s hair. And the butterfly cake! I’m hoping I can stalk down the bride and groom online to get more information about this beautiful wedding, but in the meantime, be sure to check out Kellett Photography’s 21 pages of photos. (Thanks to Kathy B. for sending this to me!)
Her offbeat partner: Chris Location & date of wedding: 1/19/2008. Ceremony was at The Marston House’s rose garden in Balboa Park San Diego, CA. The reception was at another favorite our neighborhood bar, LEI Lounge. What made our wedding offbeat: We have been together for a decade and I never thought we were going to get married. We wanted a very nontraditional wedding and basically a big party — or as our friends say, “Another A&C Production!” I knew right away I was going to wear a RED dress, no questions asked. And of course a tea length dress so you can see the fabulous shoes — everyone knows my obsession with shoes! Read the rest of this entry » |
