This Monday brings us a slew of reader submissions including the stripey sock brigade, a couple of mohawks, and a movie poster invitation. It may be Monday, but at least we have each other and these awesome photos. Check out what Pinterest, The Tribe, and the Offbeat Flickr Pool have gifted us this week.

Acrobats, martial artists, skateboarders, and cosplay nerds: Wild About You wants to photograph YOU!

I love a photography team with a love story like our sponsor Wild About You Photography. Lily and Chris found each other through their mutual passion for punk rock and photography. Chris even moved 2000 miles to San Francisco so that they could go to shows, travel the world, and make beautiful photos and videos together. They came to Offbeat Bride to not only offer y’all a special discount but to also aid in their search for some very specific offbeat weddings that’ll get some lucky couples a bonus special offer.

Use Polaroids to personalize your wedding decor

Katie and Clinton’s centerpieces featured these Polaroid photos of special places and moments. It seems like the perfect pre-wedding get-away: jump in the car and head around town to snap photos of your favorite restaurants, date spots, where you got engaged, etc. Then slip them into your flowers.
