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…
