Yummy mocktails for very cool wedding drink alternatives
So you’re planning out your beverage strategy for your dry wedding, or your wedding with kids and future Offbeat Mamas, or just looking to offer some non-boozy alternatives. You can surely offer sodas and coffee, but why not make their experience a little more special with fancy-shmancy mocktails? Adding fancy stemware and a garnish will put those teetotalers in the mood to party, and they won’t feel left out from any “signature cocktail” moments.
How come the cold and grey UK gets all the hot weddings?
When Paul Thurlow Photography sent us this wedding, I believe Ariel’s word was “GORGE.” Lush photos, an eerie gray day (my favorite kind), and major style all wrapped up in some classic traditions was the name of this game. Vicky is an alternative model and Rob is a guitarist in the rock band Dead PinUps, located in the UK. They both exude dark, rock glamour and the camera loooooves them.
Use Kanzashi hair ornaments as a gorgeous veil alternative
Offbeat Bride Tribe moderator Creepingminx knew she didn’t want to wear a veil, and got overwhelmed whilst looking for fascinators. So she drew on her love of Japanese hair styles to decide on her amazing veil alternative.
Starkers! Corsetry’s Offbeat Bride-inspired gowns
There’s a first for everything, and this marks the first time in five years that I’ve ever posted photos from a wedding gown fashion show. Runway shots just aren’t really my thing — I usually prefer seeing real people in real dresses, rather than gawking at designer stuff somebody might wear.
Leave it to Dianna DiNoble from Starkers! Corsetry[vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/dianna-dinoble-starkers-corsetry"] to make me change my mind. This show, part of Fashion Art Toronto‘s Fashion Week pretty much blew me away. While Offbeat Bride isn’t affiliated with any of these gowns in any way, Dianna told me that the line was very much inspired by the tastes of Offbeat Brides.
And oh my, what taste it is…
