weddingThis shot just showed up in the Offbeat Bride pool, and I just spent 10 minutes studying it like a work of art. Uh, hi. Obsess much? Here's what caught my eye:

  1. Pink-haired bride (is that Atomic Pink?)
  2. Gorgeous ink on both of 'em
  3. Groom in a pink shirt
  4. …with rolled up sleeves
  5. …and a vest with no jacket
  6. Groom in sneakers
  7. The formal setting — love the contrast!
  8. Mohawk
  9. The bride's delicate little headpiece
  10. The way the soft pink dress matches the soft pink bouquet
  11. The groom's glasses

There are more pictures from this German wedding over here.

  1. Tromp l’oeil love.
    And we make our case one more time: offbeat weddings can still be freakin’ classy, y’all.

  2. This wedding is so elegant, but unique with its little details. I can’t stop looking through their pictures. Beyond obsessed with the bride’s hair & dress!

  3. Soooooo beautiful (both of them)! This really reaffirms my desire to have my hair neon orange for my wedding.

  4. When you’re finished counting, add one more for me! Yup, I’d have to agree on Atomic Pink, my personal favorite.:)

  9. I had my hair dyed Atomic Pink for about 8 months. Fresh dyed hair like that….stains everything. My pillows, my necklaces, the headrest in the car…

    I wonder if it caused her any issues….
    Lovely picture, though.

    • Aww, I’ve had dyed hair quite a lot. Atomic pink currently, actually! Yes, it stains, but I’m sure this isn’t her first rodeo and she knew what to expect. Surely it didn’t cause any major issue? I don’t see what issue it would have caused. Sleep on crappy pillow cases, don’t wear white hoodies, problem solved.

      • Hm, I was expecting this with my currently very pink hair .. with orange also, but didn’t get any. My nails and palms were a different matter but only right after washing it. I use ‘Crazy Colour’.
        I suppose having it up the way she does here stops staining what you’re wearing on the day being an issue. Crappy pillow cases just incase though! I’d be mortified if I ruined the hotels bedding :-s
