Pretty vintage wedding accessories: capelets, gloves, headpieces, and more!

I normally focus my Friday posts on alternative wedding shoes, today I think I’m going to spend some time with vintage wedding accessories.

Part of wanting to spend some time with them is just that the pictures are so dang pretty. I love this aesthetic… vintage-y, romantic, lovely. It’s just so dang pretty.

This bride was carried to the altar in a coffin!

How do you walk down the aisle when your theme is “Till Death do Us Part” and you’re getting married in an Northern California cemetery? If you’re Kristen, you surprise the hell out of your groom by entering in a coffin carried by the groomsmen.

Yeah, yeah: I know LAST week was our week for spooky weddings, but trust: you’re going to want to see Kristen and Joe’s sweetly macabre video. It’s way more heartwarming than the title of this post suggests.

Noir and gothic: black dresses with a dark side

It’s Halloween week at Offbeat Bride and one detail we especially love is an amazing black dress. We love them all year round, but smooshing them into one big post just screams goth Halloween-ness. We’ve rounded up our favorite Offbeat Brides sporting black gowns and some of our favorites to buy if you’re in the market.

Spookily delicious Halloween wedding cakes

This Jason and Freddy Kruger wedding cake just blew my mind. It also made me think… what OTHER incredible Halloween-themed wedding cakes do we have in our archives. The answer: a shit ton and they’re all impressive, a little bit spooky, and more than likely delicious.
