Photos from weddings featured in today’s sci-fi weddings article in the New York Times
You guys know we loves us some sci-fi, nerdy, geeky, horror-tinged, and zombie-fied weddings… and it appears the Old Grey Lady has sniffed out the trend!
The New York Times ran an article today (“Moving Past Traditional to the Science Fictional“) which featured an interview with Ariel and several weddings featured on Offbeat Bride. We thought it’d be fun to share some of the photos that go with the weddings featured in the piece…
Souvenir glasses, Star Wars, and one very literal save-the-date
Tribesmaid Stealmystapler offered these vintage souvenir glasses as favors. Alternative muglies FTW! But that’s not we need to start this week off right. You also need a dancing dog, a very literal save-the-date, some lightsabers, and maybe a top hat.
Alternative garters for sexy, geeky, and bad-ass legs
Beth wore both a Joker garter AND a Wonder Woman garter to honor her and her groom’s geekdom loves. I loved this so much that I had to seek and find some other offbeat garters for the extra special offbeat leg to don. I found goth garters, Doctor Who garters, Harry Potter garters, and even a zombie garter.
Harry Potter, Doctor Who, horses, and a four-figure discount from NY’s Milestone Images
I think this is my favorite interview with one of our most prolific and wonderfully honest sponsors — Angie from Milestone Images. Not only do we get to see the once-viral sonic screwdriver bouquet in action, but we get to hear a photographers candid opinion on why her services are worth the money, why she’s a great fit for DIY couples, AND we get never-before-seen admissions about the depths of her Harry Potter nerd-dom.
Oh, and I get to share with your our first ever four-figure discount from a wedding photographer.
These Daily Prophet wedding programs are bloody magic
Tribesmaid Tochart just had her Harry Potter-themed wedding. Before she (hopefully!) fills out a bride profile, we thought we’d share with you her bloody brilliant wedding programs a la The Daily Prophet. (Bonus points if you find the Doctor Who surprise appearance.)
Jenna & Billy’s band geeks and Harry Potter bookish wedding
Harry Potter and sheet music cupcake stands, an amazing sheet music DIYed bouquet, and damask and Scrabble details, all on a tight budget and overcoming some powerful adversity. This wedding between two alumni at their university is as sweet as it is courageous. Enjoy the book details during our Bookish theme week.
