Show off your fancy footwork with barefoot sandals
Ever since I saw the handmade barefoot sandals from Ashley and Oliver’s wedding on the dunes, they kept creeping around my brain. Ashley and her bridesmaids used them for easy walking on the beach during the ceremony, which makes total sense. But you can actually use these to embellish a pair of plain sandals or shoes too since they are essentially just foot jewelry. I had to investigate what was out there and if these can be easily DIYed.
Match your hair and your wedding shoes
Ooh, girl. You know I loves me some loud shoes and some pink hair and when you coordinate your loud pink shoes with your bright pink hair? You’re basically guaranteeing that I have to go change my pants.
Geeky undies for a sexy wedding night surprise
We’ve already covered wedding night nookie and keeping it special. But perhaps some of you would rather keep it hilarious and surprising? Maybe your partner is a classic movie monster fan and the sexiness above would show just how much you want to please them. I went on a hunt for more geeky, fangirl-y, and just plain fun panty/undie/boxer options for the wedding night (or the next day, depending on how tired you are!).
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…
