A zombie masquerade with Waldo and a disembodied finger (aka a Halloweeny Monday Montage)
The Halloween wedding of “Zombie and Vamps” had an excellent guest book in the form of a hand-drawn illustration. And you know what jack-o-lanterns in the Monday Montage means: HALLOWEEN WEEK IS HERE! Now on to the best spooky, creepy, and gory submissions from the Offbeat Bride Flickr Pool, Pinterest, and the Offbeat Bride Tribe.

Get your candy out because it’s Halloween Week! We’ve got zombies, ghosts, and gore in our weddings. Today it’s gothic style and awesome costumes including a giant banana (if you know what I mean… wait, that’s not what I mean).
A sweet candy corn nail look for Halloween weddings
A little tape, three nail colors, a steady hand, and you’ve got a sweet little manicure for October and the fall and Halloween weddings to come. I like this tutorial since the hardest part looks to be not letting these little tape pieces stick to the table.

Kristen & Shawn’s theater production Hallo-wedding
This masquerade-y, Pagan, theatrical wedding has so much going for it: DIY projects everywhere (including cocktail hats that I want to steal), a serenade from the groom, awesome community help, and a sweet and funny couple to root for. Plus, you have to love how the bride follows her heart and dons her dream dress color.
