Sponsors

WE LOVE THESE FOLKS! These indie businesses have paid to sponsor Offbeat Wed because they love nontraditional weddings and want to work with more offbeat folks. We think they’re awesome, and we think you will too. If you want to support Offbeat Wed, using one of these vendors in your wedding is the best way to do so… they’re how we’re able to stay online and continue our mission of supporting offbeat awesomeness everywhere.

Vendors, want to be a part of this love-fest? Join us as a sponsor!

So when Dark Garden offered to walk me through the process of getting measured and fit for a new custom corset made to my now-measurements, I was all “Oh fuck yes.”

What does it feel like going to San Francisco and getting a corset fit to your skeleton? It feels like being a sexy bug. YES, REALLY.
