I felt like doing something different for this week’s Real Wedding, and this wedding is definitely like nothing I’ve ever seen! I’ll be honest- when Matthew of Sights and Sounds sent me this wedding, I wasn’t too sure about it. But after looking through all the photos and seeing how much fun everyone was having, I knew I wanted to share it with you all! Here is what Matthew sent along with the photos:

Lyle & Delia Beers themed their wedding as an old victorian era bicycle wedding and rented bicycles for all that were attending.  All of the decorations and styling of the wedding party was completely DIY.  Before the main ceremony they had a indian “puja” at their apartment which only close family and friends were invited.  The rest of the wedding party arrived at their apartment after for the short bike ride a few blocks away to Palisades Park where the main ceremony was held.  It was quite spectacular seeing an entire wedding party on bicycles disrupting traffic on the pacific coast highway, escorted by a brass band aptly named “Critical Brass.”

After the ceremony was over, they went for a “victory lap” up Palisades Park and back down the pacific coast highway towards the old dancing hall, the Santa Monica Bay Womans Club, which has been around since 1905.  Inside the hall was this amazing stage where everyone participated in a sing along to Journey’s hit “Don’t Stop Believing” to cap off the night.  This was definitely one of the more memorable weddings I’ve had the opportunity of being a part of!

Pretty cool wedding, right? I absolutely love the originality. It’s definitely whimsical, that’s for sure! A big thank you to Sights and Sounds for sharing this wedding with us!
