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.
Hayley & Stephen’s 1950s polka dot wedding
They could have hopped a plane to Vegas, but why not capitalize on how good the groom looks with Teddy Boy hair and rock a 1950s theme? Add in a three-piece live band, black flamingo accents, and LOTS of polka dots, and the theme is made!
Jessica & Jacob’s low-key ’50s-Style wedding
At first I was like, “I love that dress!” and then I was all, “I love that hat!” And finally I said, “I love this wedding!” 1950s-inspired fashion, a low-key dinner after some geeky vows (Lord of the Rings and Doctor Who included), fun with a piñata, and a bazillion folded cranes — this is a wedding to savor.
Derpin’, dancin’, and superhero-ing: readers know how to do it
It’s a new work week and we’re back to show off what the readers shared in our Monday Montage. It seemed like everyone was looking vintage fashionable and dancing. And then we’re thrown for a loop by some superhero additions including superhero guests, superhero shoes (that you can actually buy), and even a Wonder Woman shoe tutorial. Let’s get it started with all the best from the Offbeat Flickr Pool and the Offbeat Pinterest account.
Cailey & Christian’s 1950s BBQ saloon wedding
Only three vendors and a whole lot of economizing didn’t make this budget wedding any less awesome. Other cool details including tag-team officiants (at a really pretty church), handpainted wooden cake toppers, and a groom who is a little too nervous for long vows. Plus their 1950s retro theme fit like a glove in our era-inspired theme week!
Dominique & Nicholas’ retro ’50s mountain party wedding
A celebration with only the besties in the mountains of Australia PLUS a 1950s theme? Sign me up. The scenery at this place is amazing and the fashion adds a really cool contrast. Plus the wedding party included two bulldogs, so you know it was adorable.
