Siobhan & Chadwick’s moon-loving techno-hippie wedding

When the couple calls themselves “moon-loving techno-hippies,” we know we’re in for some fun. Get ready for some family vows (and a family sand ceremony!), some cat-loving vows, and a desert horizon at a ranch that ended up being their ideal location. It’s a small, outdoor wedding with big heart.

Jesse & Ben’s potluck backyard hippie handfasting

When you’re in the mood to kick tradition out, this is the celebration to see: a non-legal backyard solstice potluck with a VERY participatory ceremony, personal tattoos instead of rings, and a super sweet memorial for the groom’s father. These adorable hippies knew what they wanted and embraced it full-on. And we get to see it all come together!

Laura & David’s DIY hippie geeky wedding

You know the saying, “They broke the mould when they made you” often applies to Offbeat Brides. DIY, tattoos, petals, suspenders, outdoors, love, this wedding has it all. Plus, a Batman garter, a lemon tree, and a sweet spread of mini pies. It’s not easy to sum it up in a few words, but it’s definitely authentic to their very own broken mould.

Rachel & Andy’s rustic quirky interactive historical farm wedding

Get out your eagle eyes, because there’s a lot to see in this raptor-lovin’ wedding. Not only were live birds of prey there for the ogling, but guests got a chance to live in this couple’s shared brainspace for a day, with hula hoops, a drum circle, and a couple of celebrities. As if that wasn’t enough, guests got their sax on in an ultimate sax-off, and that’s after the whole party was Rick Rolled. They’re never gonna give you up….

Anne & Stew’s happy hippie hoedown cross-country wedding

This pair had a sweet, tiny redwood forest elopement, but it didn’t end there. They then went on an cross-country party marathon with all of their family and friends in New Jersey, NYC, Texas, and California! Think Austin hokey-tonk bar, Jewish deli catering, a Deadhead-inspired barn dance, and a special guest: Mel the CAMEL. You have to see it to believe it.

Adrian & Brian’s hippie carnival campout wedding

This wedding brought together the couple’s bohemian/artist/hippie/punk friends for a raucous campout. They may not be the best at RSVPing, but they definitely know how to show up in style. Plus, they were finally able to convince an awesome “Russian/Balkan/marching band meets punk rock dance party” band to play for them!
