This theatrical Halloween wedding slays with its dark glamour

Monique and Danika worked with some of California’s most skilled designers to create this masterpiece of a theatrical Halloween wedding. From the headdress to the table decor, the skulls and skeletons of creatures adorned everything. Danika’s custom dress was handmade by the killer [heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/dark-garden-unique-corsetry"]Dark Garden Unique Corsetry[/heart] and is a work of art. Their ceremony may have been sweet and simple with just the two of them and their officiant, but the reception was another story. Every guest showed up in elaborate costumes to watch the spectacular burlesque show. It’s time to see the whole thing in all its glory.

Fantasy fandom mash-up: a Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings wedding

It’s Hogwarts and Middle-earth combined to form a most heavenly, super DIYed, ultra geektastic wedding in the bride’s hometown in Texas. Loads of time went into the handmade invitations, save-the-dates, favors, centerpieces, programs, menus, seating chart, boutonnieres, and KICK-ASS sword handle bouquets. Seriously, don’t miss those. The couple rocked their Hogwarts houses all night on the dance floor and cut the cake with a huge axe. It was a hug axe fun time. Puns!
