I got the idea to do this post a few months ago. I’m not exactly sure where it came from, but in all the research and time that I’ve put into weddings, you can’t help but run across some pretty weird weddings. Seeing some of these weird weddings in action kind of makes me think, who are these people and what makes them want their wedding to be so out of the ordinary? I can understand wanting to make your wedding day all your own, but there’s a point when you need to sit back and wonder if it’s actually worth it, or if you’re just doing it to make people talk. Here are some examples of some pretty weird weddings out there that I’ve seen and heard about as well.
Dressing in Character
If you think about it, the bride and groom are already dressing up in character on their wedding day. One with a big beautiful white wedding dress, and the other in a nice suit or tuxedo, to play the part of the bride and groom. But when the bride and groom decide to dress up as something else instead, to me that makes for some pretty weird weddings. For example, having your groom dress up as Elvis is just the start for the making of weird wedding. Or the bride and groom in afro wigs. Don’t laugh, I’ve seen it done. Another odd one to me is the Medieval weddings where not only do the bride and groom dress in character, but ask that all of their guests do the same. You’ll definitely have some wedding pictures to show the kids.
Being Adventurous
I’ll probably never understand while some couples choose to pair their wedding and bungee jumping together. To me, they just don’t mix, and thus leads into another option when it comes to weird weddings. Do they realize just how risky bungee jumping can be, and that there is a chance that one of you won’t make it? I can understand wanting to be adventurous, and that a wedding is a “till death do us part” thing, but wouldn’t you at least like to make it the whole 24 hours before that’s fulfilled? In my opinion, bungee jumping weddings and other weddings that include ‘life and death situations’ definitely make for some weird weddings.
Married in the Produce Aisle
Many couples want to go the romantic route for their weddings, and I can totally understand that. Romantic and weddings really go hand in hand. Also romantic is revisiting the place where you both met and remembering when you first saw him/her. But what if you take it farther than that? I’ve read about several weddings where the couple chose to get married in the place where they first met, and it’s a totally romantic idea….depending on where that is. I’ve read about couples getting married in grocery stores, bowling allies and other such crazy locations. To me, that translates into some pretty weird weddings.
Now I’m not trying to put anyone down who wants to plan these kinds of weddings. I understand that not every bride wants to have a traditional wedding in the church, and that they really want to make their wedding stand out and be memorable. But in the case of being adventurous, just be extra careful or you could be planning a funeral on your wedding day.

If you’ve done any kind of searching through bridal magazines, then you’re sure to have noticed that nearly all of the brides in there are wearing one of many kinds of wedding headpieces. Wedding headpieces is kind of a generic term, but there are many different kinds of wedding headpieces that brides can wear to adorn their hair on their wedding day. There are many different kinds of wedding headpieces to choose from, and you’ll need to consider what kind of wedding you are having, as well as what your wedding budget is before you start looking at wedding headpieces.

So if you have your wedding dress and are looking for the perfect wedding headpiece to accent your wedding hairstyle, then here are some great options you can look at when choosing wedding headpieces.

From what I understand, wedding hats are starting to make a comeback. Now I know that if you look through any of the bridal magazines with the latest bridal trends, sometimes you will see the model wearing a variety of wedding hats - and other times she’ll just show of a sleek wedding updo. Personally, I never even considered looking at wedding hats when I was planning for my wedding. Wedding hats held no interest for me, but granted, I don’t like wearing hats in general. I prefer to feel the wind and the sun, and all of the other elements that can be detrimental to your hair and complexion. Anyway, I’ve been reading on some different wedding websites that say wedding hats are starting to make a comeback, and not just on the runway, but wedding hats are showing up in everyday weddings as well. So I thought I’d look into it and let you know about this interesting turn of events.
