10 gorgeous brides who refused to follow the norm

1. This gorgeous couple, whose wedding took place at a bookstore.

Not only did she choose not to get married in white, but having her wedding reception at a bookshop? It’s every book lover’s dream. From one book lover to all the boys out there: TAKE NOTE!

Darling, you simply can’t go wrong with a 1920s flapper-themed wedding.

6. Go, go Power rangers

Is it me or does the bride actually look a little bit like Rita, the villain in the story?

7. Who says you can’t wear black to your own wedding?

This gorgeous bride’s plunging, mermaid-style dress is the stuff bridal dreams are made of.

When someone meets me and sees my styling, they know it is very unique. So when i saw @theyoungmummy wear black for a wedding dress I LOVED IT. ??? So black wedding dress and white bridesmaides, oh yes! ??

8. In fact, who says you even have to wear a dress to your wedding?

Cue the bride who chose to wear a gorgeous and lacy jumpsuit to her wedding.

9. Have yourself a gothic little wedding

We love that this couple went all shades of red, black and dark blue for their wedding. The groom’s waistcoat adds a nice authentic touch.

Heute, vor 4 Jahren... mit @schaffra ?? Geheiratet haben wir natürlich auf einer Burg, mit einem Dudelsackspieler und ja... das Foto ist auf einen Friedhof gemacht. Gewöhnlich war unsere Hochzeit nicht, aber wunderschön. #mywedding #redweddingdress #throwbackthursday #gothicwedding
