Anya & Lu’s colorful allergy-friendly Brooklyn beergarten wedding

This nearly “bubble-girl” bride has lots of allergies, but made the food her own with nut-free, gluten-free, and shellfish-free catering. But it’s the amazing ceremony space, hilarious knot-tying story, and teary groom photos that get us straight in the heart.

Go on a photography adventure with New Jersey’s Lily Szabo

When Lily Szabo planned her own wedding a few years ago, she was a devoted Offbeat Bride Tribe member. So when she decided to make the jump into wedding photography she knew that her dream clients would be her fellow Tribesmaids and those who weren’t afraid to do things your own way. With Lily as your photographer you always have a happy vendor who’s willing to go along on that adventure with you.

Brandy & Phoenix’s Central Park and hometown Chicago dual-city wedding

A Central Park ceremony, rooftop shenanigans, and a family-focused Chicago reception — these two cuties know to party cross-country! Add in the queer-friendly atmosphere, last-minute cheesecake, and sand ceremony mishap, and you’ve got a recipe for offbeat magic.

A music-heavy Brooklyn wedding with dinosaurs, balloons, and a drumming bride

Meet Mary and Matt, two Brooklyn-based musicians who wanted their wedding to include their fave bands and tunes in a big way. Each table at the reception was named after a band (some local, some super famous) and both the bride and groom took turns playing with their band during the reception! The multi-talented pair’s creativity didn’t stop there, as Mary also DIYed most of the bouquets and decor herself.
