disability

At Offbeat Wed, we know that disabilities aren’t always visible, and that while some of us might be getting married in a wheelchair or walking down the aisle with a cane, others of us are dealing with chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, or other invisible challenges like panic disorders, being neurodivergent, or having social anxiety conditions. Whatever your abilities, we want to help you have a wonderful wedding!

Falling in Lovecraft: So many Lovecraft wedding ideas!

This pair called their wedding theme “Falling in Lovecraft.” As big Lovecraft fans, they had a tentacle gold bracelet, a Cthulhu-headed cufflink set and paisley tie, and even moss and willow for the centerpieces that were inspired by the creatures of Lovecraft.

Rainbow meets steampunk at Jen & Clynton’s South Africa wedding

A steampunk cake with a rainbow middle totally encapsulates this wedding. Think rainbows everywhere with old clocks, feathers, copper and silverware, telephones, inkwells, and anything their imagination could invent. Borrowing from friends helped keep the budget down as did some creative thinking. Add in a few sword photos, awesomely mismatched centerpieces, and an amazing rainbow dress, and we’re all in.

Sea monster hair!

“Sea monster hair” inspired Alex & Greg’s peacock fairy tale wedding

Seeing this bride’s hair will probably get you clicking, but just in case that wasn’t enough: wait until you see all the blue and purple details, peacock feathers, fabulous “something borrowed” jewels, and DIY hand-encrusted Swarovski shoes. You’ll also love this couple’s solution for missing some photos at their original ceremony site.
