23 offbeat wedding themes that blew even our minds
One type of wedding that we feature heavily is a THEMED WEDDING. We love our theme-less weddings just as much, but sometimes a killer theme just feels so right. Is there a theme that hasn’t been done? Surely. Are we game to see it? Absolutely. Here are a few offbeat wedding themes that blew our minds at the time (and maybe still do to this day!). Whether it was totally gorgeous, hilarious, outrageous, or just plain new to us, there have been some doozies.
Need a romantic Princess Bride reading? As you wish…
A Princess Bride wedding reading from the book itself? Inconceivable! Only the impressive clergyman knew about this particular passage from the book version of The Princess Bride. You’ll find lots of awesome ceremony fodder from the movie, too, but this time we’ve got a Princess Bride reading with a literature vibe. Shall we see it? (Anybody want a peanut?) I couldn’t resist! On to the reading…
This rainbow wedding combined wrestling and The Princess Bride!
This wedding is the culmination of a marriage between wrestling, rainbow colors, and The Princess Bride… oh and these two cuties. With rainbow meets books centerpieces, rainbow bouquets, and a wrestling-themed cake, where can it go wrong? It certainly didn’t go wrong during their grand entrance with championship belts. Go see!
How André the Giant helped guests drive home safely
We’re going to feature Emily and Branan’s Star Wars, wrestling, and badminton wedding later this week, but I couldn’t wait to share this impressive way to dissuade over-drinking and encourage safe driving at the reception. They used a little tidbit about the booze tolerance of the late and most amazing André the Giant, which if you’ve read this book like I have recently, you’d know all about! Let’s see how they did it.
Our pop-cultured bookish wedding with a Discworld wedding cake!
Attention fans of Harry Potter, Princess Bride, Discworld, RPGs, shoe games, chemistry, adorableness, and all things sugar and spice: there is something in this wedding for you. Homages to books and pop culture abound in this Aussie wedding with two super cuties who are totally pro at combining their interests into a kick-ass theme.
Kristen & Jet’s zombie-infused Elvira-loving NYC Hallowedding
This one is going to be right on the money for you couples planning Halloween weddings right now. We’ve got two ladies celebrating their favorite holiday, a black ribbon veil, amazing black pumpkin bouquet, and of course, Central Park in New York City! Plus, they had The Reverend D (rad Offbeat Bride vendor) officiate dressed as ELVIRA! And there may have been a wedding crashing zombie in attendance as well.
