Getting ready onesies instead of robes at your wedding

Getting ready robes? Nah… getting ready onesies are the shiz

Tay and Matt rocked their April Fool’s Day wedding with a colorful festival-style picnic wedding in South Africa. One tiny detail that I LOVED was Tay’s crew wearing matching getting ready onesies while they got dressed. It made for a rilly rilly cute shot, as you can tell. Plus, it’s totally a chance to include a little of your favorite fandoms into your wedding day.

In case you were looking for a kick-ass program alternative or just a fun wedding welcome sign, this geeky Lord of the Rings-inspired chalkboard sign wins.

JCAM6918de alternative wedding ideas from Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride)

This satyr cosplay engagement brings serious magic to our Renaissance-loving hearts

Janee and Bill love all things Renaissance, and in unique fashion, Bill proposed to Janee at the Colorado Renaissance Festival. They also love cosplay and Janee creates all of their costuming herself, including these amazing satyr costumes for this year’s Ren fest. On the opening weekend of the festival, Bill proposed with a gorgeous leaf silhouette ring.

For this satyr cosplay engagement session, they capitalized on all her hard work by spending the evening at Fountain Creek Nature Center, south of Colorado Springs. The pair passed out wildflower seeds to passersby and stole our nerdy hearts in the process. If THIS is their engagement session, what will their wedding bring? No pressure, guys…

Dragon egg wedding invitation as seen on @offbeatbride

The Mother of dragon egg wedding invitations awaits

I HAD to share this killer dragon egg wedding invitation idea. Your guest receives the egg in the mail, they crack it open, and get a custom message from you! I’m seeing this Game of Thrones-inspired or even the golden egg from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Either way, it’s super rad for your inner Khaleesi.
