brides in glasses

If you wear glasses every day… there’s no rule that says you can’t wear them on your wedding day too! We’ve even got a post dedicated to just fabulous brides in glasses. Obvs, this love ain’t for brides only — grooms rock ’em too.

Trisha & Matthew’s lots of DIY colorful wedding

I think if I were to hire a bride to make my own DIY details, this would be the one. She made awesome paper flowers and a rolled magazine page card box, but the most amazing contributions were the FABULOUS bridesmaid dresses and homemade cake — all of which look professional. This bride and her helpers have major talent. On top of it all, this pair is so damned cute that I will call them Squishies and they will be my Squishies.

Derpin’, dancin’, and superhero-ing: readers know how to do it

It’s a new work week and we’re back to show off what the readers shared in our Monday Montage. It seemed like everyone was looking vintage fashionable and dancing. And then we’re thrown for a loop by some superhero additions including superhero guests, superhero shoes (that you can actually buy), and even a Wonder Woman shoe tutorial. Let’s get it started with all the best from the Offbeat Flickr Pool and the Offbeat Pinterest account.

Jenifer & Shawn’s last-minute backyard BBQ wedding

A vintage dress to die for, a heart theme (including awesome headpiece!), fun with piñatas, and the sweetest homemade book about their relationship — you’re in for a backyard wedding with a ton of heart(s). These two moved their wedding date up seven months to coincide with a birthday party and Easter weekend, which left them with only days to finish. But finish they did, and you’ll want to see the result.

An Old Hollywood classic theater same-sex wedding

Becca Dilley Photography sent us this gorgeous same-sex wedding in Madison, Wisconsin, and we were super stoked about the awesome style and INSANELY COOL cake: a huge pedestal with flames and mini-cakes hanging down! The couple also rocked an Old Hollywood vibe with a retro theater venue, the Orpheum Theater.
