Reader round-up: Dinos, cakes, hoops, and dresses that’ll make you say WHOA!
Once again, it’s time to round-up our latest reader photos. This week we had things submitted to us via our Flickr pool and Instagram. (Did you know you can now tag us @offbeatbride on Instragram to be considered for a feature in our reader roundups?) That’s exactly how Offbeat Bride reader Amelia got me to see her, her new husband, and their new dino friend on their wedding day! Now let’s look at MORE adorable photos of our wonderful readers…
A colorful gothically delicious wedding in Newfoundland
Are you up for an elegant industrial goth fix? Today is your day. Ashley and Paddy ooze delicious and colorful gothic energy in their ’til death do us part-themed wedding in Newfoundland. We got to see how these style mavens put it all together: think bright dreads + mohawk, black Utilikilts, combat boots, and even some little peacock feather accents, all layered on a purple and blue backdrop.
Andrell & Aaron’s Padme and Anakin Star Wars wedding
This week we’re celebrating our sci-fi-loving, fantasy-squeeing, and comic book-collecting couples. Today’s wedding features a full-on Star Wars Halloween theme including lake dress Padme and Dark Anakin. There’s lots of lightsaber fun (including the cake cutters!) and even some Jawas escorting the bride.
Anna & Joe’s circus carnival and costume ball wedding
From her breathtaking blood-red gown to his dapper top hat and tails, these two are the picture of gorgeous Victorian fashion. I’ll bet you’d be surprised at who their officiant was! Their old-school carnival/circus-themed tent of lights, stripes, juggling, and fire let them entertain their guests and share the spotlight that’s often squarely on the couple getting married — a smooth move. You’re also going to love the late night dip in the pool, the killer shoes, and the heartwarming grandfather as an admiring admiral just bursting with happy mid-hug.
