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.
Top your noggin with a wilder-style yarmulke
Yarmulkes (or kippahs) are caps worn on the head, typically by those of Jewish faith. For those able to wear something a little more daring, I present these alternative (and sometimes out there) yarmulkes for our offbeat Jewish weddings.
Amazing Hawaiian wedding fashion with surprising shoe advice
The moment I saw this photo from Maui wedding photographer Anna Kim, I almost spit coffee all over my monitor. And then BEGGED her for more info about this fashionable bride, Meeshay. Because ZOMG the shoes, the dress, (hell even the groom’s rocker-style all-black sexiness). I’m DYING. But what I didn’t expect was a hot tip on where you can find quirky wedding shoes like these the ones.
Let’s all admire Kwame’s hand-made wedding outfit
My husband is as unconventional as I am, so I was not at all surprised when he decided to wear a tunic and sarong for our wedding. He picked out the fabrics and beads and gave me a basic idea of what he wanted design-wise, and I went from there. I have to say I was pretty happy with how well it turned out.
Wedding duds for your iPhones
If yours is a marriage made in tech-geek heaven, perhaps you might be as tickled about this idea as I am. And look how cute the photo op is…
Alternative garters for sexy, geeky, and bad-ass legs
Beth wore both a Joker garter AND a Wonder Woman garter to honor her and her groom’s geekdom loves. I loved this so much that I had to seek and find some other offbeat garters for the extra special offbeat leg to don. I found goth garters, Doctor Who garters, Harry Potter garters, and even a zombie garter.
