Website resource for the untraditional bride and groom
So, I came across this site http://offbeatbride.com/ while looking for 50's/60's style dresses.
|
OK, I have hit the motherlode! This site is PERFECT for ideas & such for those who are not into the "traditional" cookie cutter wedding (obviously me).
Lots of photos from real ceremonies and all of the usual wedding website stuff. |

I know it's not necessarily what the OP was talking about, but I like these sites:

Thanks for posting those. I'm into fair trade also.

http://www.bluenile.com/ethical-sourcing http://www.brilliantearth.com/buy-co...free-diamonds/ Check out greatergood.com also. They have a wide variety of items for sale ranging from clothing to chocolate. If I'm ever blessed enough to get married, I hope my future husband realizes I'm going to throw a huge fair-trade wedding with Ghanaian chocolate to Ethiopian coffee |
The Greater Good website is great! Thank you for sharing that. I look at the Brilliant Earth also. Really nice!

To follow behind the courthouse weddings, I came across this article (pics) while looking for something else.

https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...d4&oe=54D4B558 https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...bf&oe=551107FE I found these shoes at DSW and fell in love! First because of the blue and gold and the roses (sorority colors and flower), second because I LOVE 1950's/early 1960's clothes and third, I thought these would be great shoes for a wedding. |

So, this couple did a City Hall wedding. I have to admit, I LOOOOOOVE the inside of my city's government building. I shoot there often just for the hell of it. Anywho, this couple did (in my opinion) the best type of wedding: The couple, the photog and the officiant.
Check out the details on the brides custom dress. Very cool!! Their wedding really isn't "non-traditional" per se but it cuts out the middle man, saves $$$$$$ and the drama is minimal if any. https://www.popsugar.com/love/City-H...photo-42240113 https://media3.popsugar-assets.com/f...ll-Wedding.jpg https://media4.popsugar-assets.com/f...ll-Wedding.JPG See additional pics on the website |
