Can’t have your dog at your wedding? Cardboard cutouts to the rescue!
Chances are if you’ve got a pet and you’re reading Offbeat Bride, you’d really like to have them at your wedding. But sometimes Fido just isn’t cool with crowds, or maybe you’ll be the one who’s stressed, or you know your cat would just be bored. What if they had a cardboard cutout stand-in instead?
Use favors to help guests find their seat at your small ceremony
Planning a small wedding? Need to make the best use of limited seating at your ceremony? Take a page out of Jeremy and Eric’s book. These grooms placed their wedding favors with name tags on guests’ chairs for their small backyard ceremony. Ta-da! No hunting for a seat and no empty chairs.
Floral dresses for the bridesmaids… OR THE BRIDE!
Wedding flowers don’t only go in vases. Splash ’em all over your wedding party! Yes, my friends, it is time that we discussed the awesomeness that is the floral bridesmaid dress. I’ve got 20 examples here of flowery dresses for your bridesmaids! Or, you know, for yourself. We’re not huge into rules when it comes to dresses.
Our favorite wedding ideas to steal
Is it rare to be encouraged to steal something? We happen to encourage you all to steal our Offbeat Bride ideas rather a lot. In fact, one of our biggest archives is full of wedding ideas that we’d really like you to steal, pretty please. And I couldn’t get all of my favorites on this list (though I made sure to include my favorite tip for a post-ceremony activity). What I’m saying is, you should go have a wander through that once you’re done with these 30 of my favorites.
