The corset hairstyle to lace up YOUR BRAIN

On Offbeat Bride, we’ve been loving on corset wedding dresses for a decade… but this is officially the first time that I’m freaking out over a corset hairstyle. ARE YOU SEEING THIS? This is an up-do by Canadian stylist Bex Pfeiffer and it’s without a doubt my favorite wedding updo idea I’ve seen in ages.

Designate a special cup for the bride (and other things I learned on Insta this week)

How’s this for a clever wedding idea to steal: If you designate a special cup (like this R2D2 cup!) for the bride, you can use it to signal to the wedding bartender that if they see someone cutting in line with it… that person is getting wine for the bride! Thanks to @claraganeyphotography and Darci Kim for the great concept.

Now, here are a few other things I learned from Offbeat Bride’s Instagram this week…

Puppy bouquet & the unicorn cake

I hope that some of you who follow along with us on the blog are also following along with us on Facebook and/or Instagram, but if I know anything about social media, it’s that different folks use different tools for different things… and different algorithms show different followers different stuff and OH LORD it’s all a bit complex. This in mind, I think I’m going to start sharing some of my favorite Insta finds here on the blog, just so we can see them all in one place.

The ultimate Hallowedding shoes?!

These may be the ultimate boots for your hallowedding… glow in the dark?! Are you freaking kidding me?!

I mean, even if you didn’t want these for you, they come in toddler sizes, which means tiniest wedding party member could be rocking these down the aisle. Tiny little undead flower girl? Wee lil boney ring bearer? It just gets cuter and cuter.
