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.

Unless you’ve been planning your wedding since you were five years old, there could be several factors in your wedding planning that can be a tough choice. One of those choices is choosing your wedding colors. They are the whole foundation of your wedding, and nearly every decoration, flower and wedding favor will be based off of the wedding colors that you choose. Your wedding colors could be based off of your favorite color combinations, but if you don’t really have one favorite color, then instead you could opt for some of the most trendy wedding colors that are being used today. Here are some of the top wedding color combinations of the year that you can use.
With all of the things to remember while doing your wedding planning, you can quickly and easily get stressed out and exhausted. It’s no fun being stressed out, and when you’re stressed out, sometimes it can be hard to sit back, relax and enjoy the little things in life, or to take a break and have a little bit of fun, but this is so important. When you are doing your wedding planning, many people try to use every spare moment to work on their wedding planning, and that’s really not a bad thing, it is called good time management. But a balance between good time management and being able to take a break and have fun is important as well. I know that when I get stressed out, not only can I not sit back and relax, but I also am short with people, and impatient over things that don’t matter all that much, especially with those closest to me. That is no fun way to live, for you or for those around you. So this Christmas season, I would like to give a little piece of advice for those planning a wedding. It’s not rocket science, but it is important, and can really make a difference. Have I built up enough suspense?
One of the best things you can do when you are working on your wedding planning is to either create or purchase a wedding checklist to keep for yourself to make sure that you don’t forget anything. Trust me, once you start thinking about all of the things you need to plan and keep track of for the wedding, you’re going to want to have some kind of an organizer or planning a wedding checklist to keep yourself from forgetting anything. There were times during my own wedding planning when someone would ask me something like, “Well, what are you going to do about your ___? (insert wedding photographer, wedding programs, music, I was asked them all)”, and I would realize that I hadn’t even thought about doing that particular part of my wedding planning. Stink. So I started searching on the Internet where I could find a free planning a wedding checklist that I could use, and I found a bunch. But none of them really had everything that I needed, or they had items that I wasn’t planning on using, such as a DJ, and packages for out of town guests. But planning a wedding checklists are great, and overall they can really help you out a lot. Here are some great benefits for using a wedding checklist.
At one point or another while growing up, most every girl out there has loved pink, and everything pink. Personally, up until about high school, my room was predominately pink, and I really only changed it because I wanted some more grown up colors, I didn’t fall out of love with the color pink. Pink can be bright and cheery or soft and romantic. In fact, pink is a great feminine color, and not just for babies or little girls anymore. Over the past few years, pink has regained its popularity with adult women, thus it should be no surprise that many young women out there choose to have pink predominately in their wedding. Pink wedding receptions are also popular, and many women out there are looking for ways to decorate their pink wedding receptions without using the same old thing that everyone else is using. So, here are some great ideas for incorporating the color pink into your wedding reception.
