Monday Montage: Purples, pinks and sprinkles of green

In case you're new around here, every Monday I browse the Offbeat Bride Flickr pool and share my favorite photos with y'all. This week's theme includes lots of pinks, purples and even a little bit of green. I should also mention that there is a light saber, a purple owl cake, some gorgeous spring dresses and lots of kick ass wedding parties. Don't forget, you can always click on a photo to see more.

When was the last time you saw a bride rock a fedora? Veils, sure. Fascinators, sure. Cocktail hats, sure. Fedora? HELL YES!

…Here is Katherine with her gorgeous bridesmaids. Apparently, their adorable umbrellas weren't just a prop. They used them in an attempt to stay dry during a tornado/rainstorm.

Helz had her son walk her down the aisle in this gorgeous purple, floral dress which was made by an Etsian.

Ashley, her man Nick and the entire wedding party rode the bus to the wedding venue: The Vancouver Aquarium. Then, they ran around downtown for a quick portrait sesh. They even stopped to get a quick snack before the wedding ceremony.

Karen and her hubby are posing in front their friends' home aka the reception site.

I really enjoy the tradition of jumping the broom. I mean, it can't be easy jumping in a huuuuge (and amazingly gorgeous) dress like Justine's. Clearly, Justine and Bobbie had no problem!

Sheila had her bridesmaids carry parasols instead of bouquets.

Nerd alert! Jessie and her hubby read their vows off of their iPhones. If that doesn't show their inner geeks, Jessie's hubby's Tardis cufflinks might.

I know Halloween was last week, but there was no way I could wait another year to share photos of Derek and Joey's fabulously colorful Halloween wedding. Look at their badass, punk rawk wedding party. They are stylin' in their black ensembles and bright kicks…

…And check out their awesome purple owl cake!

Gayle and Aaron engage in a little pre-ceremony lightsaber tango.

I couldn't find any details on this adorable couple, but I'd love to hear more details/see more photos of this wedding!

Last but certainly not least, I leave you with this epic wedding party photo: the purple and blue crinolines, the bride's pink hair, and all the tattoos! Don't worry — we're currently investigating so we can share the rest of this story with you soon.
