Halloween wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

Gold dipped pumpkins and masquerade masks at this chic LA Halloween wedding

All Hallows Eve was in full force for Larke and Russell’s haunted nuptials. There were vintage candy machines, gold dipped pumpkins, and masquerade masks instead of bouquets. The couple was serenaded by a vampire band and married by a friend dressed as the pope. The guests rocked costumes, too, dressing up as lobsters, the Addams Family, sailors, SWAT, devils, nuns, cats, and more. Don’t miss the unicorn and horse masks on top of the cake AND on the actual couple!

Fairy nipple flowers & Khaleesi dresses: My Monique Lhuillier surprise visit

I knew my friend was taking me to a dress shop in LA that is filled with non-traditional dress options. But what I didn’t know is that she made a surprise appointment for me at Monique Lhuillier.

Now, like anyone with eyeballs and an appreciation of the art of fashion, I loves me some Monique Lhuillier. But ME, a ratty little tomboy, in a Monique Lhullier? The thought made me laugh. But, what happened really surprised me…

Science + art wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

Scientists and flasks abound at this science meets art wedding

Victoria and John crafted a “mad naturalist” science-theme with lots of nature and metallics. It was a total blend of science meets art. The octagon backdrop was made from copper pipe, and John made the himmeli ornaments. Victoria loves gardening, so she planted all the herb favors herself from seeds. She also made the wedding signs and wrote the place cards. They even featured wooden dinosaur models, John’s rock collection, and famous scientists as table names. It was a nerdy and chic extravaganza!

Get dat booty at this pirate wedding in Malibu

The bride, Becky, had told event planner Laura from [heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/rebel-belle-weddings"]Rebel Belle Weddings[/heart] that with her young son and his friends attending, she wanted to do something really fun. Since the venue had a treehouse look, enter the pirate theme! Becky and her partner Jim were married in a tree-filled area with a reception up on wooden plants surrounded by greenery. Don’t miss the tables named after movies, the actual hired pirate entertainment, and the decor of cannons, nets, and treasure.
