The goth headpiece of our dark and stormy day dreams

We’ll soon be sharing Brittany and Taylor’s goth history nerd wedding featuring an amazing Cthulhu cake, nerd burlesque, and some epic goth fashion. The latter of which is our current interest that we couldn’t wait to preview. Brittany’s ship headpiece was made by Kopf Traeume, who also makes FABULOUS headpieces with horns, feathers, bird cages, and tons of flora. The rest of the wedding is going to knock your socks off, but we’ll get to that later. For now, you get a sneaky peeky of this goth headpiece of our dark wonderland dreams.

Dark Valentine's Day look as seen on @offbeatbride

A sexy and dark Valentine’s Day look with inspiration from The Crow

This dark Valentine’s Day shoot is glamorously cool with moody reds, greys, and rich purples as the color palette and The Crow as aesthetic inspiration. We love us some pastels, but sometimes you just want to savor the dark side. Add in a ’20s-inspired dress, a few red hearts, a bunch of lush florals, and a wicked helipad venue,
Ventanas in Atlanta, and you’ve got our new favorite dark Valentine’s Day look.

25 of our favorite mismatched bridesmaids

One thing we know: matching wedding party fashion is SO not required anymore. I’d say about half of the weddings we receive as submissions stray from the matchy-matchy tradition in favor of mismatched wedding parties. They range from mildly varied fashion to wildly different looks, and we love them all. Let’s travel down memory lane to revisit some of our very favorite mismatched wedding parties
