We make no secret of our never-ending ongoing love-affair with John Fluevog shoes. Our publisher has been wearing them since the ’90s, and can attest to how solidly constructed they are. Fluevogs for weddings! Fluevogs for life!

Chayla & Corey’s gothic garden wedding

Sometimes you have too many interests to smoosh into one wedding. Such was the case with this Aussie wedding in a lush garden. Though they ran into a few problems with vendor communication, you’d never know it by the end result. Enjoy this lovely, stylized wedding (with a bonus legal wedding!).

Fluevog shoes: buy them for your wedding, but wear them every dang day

At Offbeat Bride, we make no secret of our never-ending ongoing love-affair with John Fluevog shoes — you’ve seen them so many times here on the site that we have an entire tag archive for them. Even if you don’t think you know Fluevogs, you do. Remember Deee-Lite? Remember the lead singer? She wore Fluevogs.
…And if I have anything to say about it, you will too.

Caroline & Aimee’s three-day lesbian movie theatre wedding

Their first date was at a theatre and their wedding was held in that same place. D’aww! These two ladies are social butterflies since they had their son, and the sheer amount of people wanting to show their love meant they had to plan for it — in the form of a three-day celebration!

Gothic punk at a seaside wedding with whales and wine

The backdrop to this gothic punk wedding is certainly not the norm. Picture a craggy sea, 1000-foot drop, and whales hitting the surface. The combination of the elegant corsetry, skull details, and seaside winery setting had me at “hello.”
