Mary & Samm’s eat-your-heart-out haunted hotel wedding
If you loved this couple’s gothically delicious anatomical heart cake, then you’ll be in for a treat with the rest of the story. We’re talking anatomical hearts on the invites, centerpieces, and the groom’s cufflinks, plus a gorgeous, haunted venue in Tampa’s historical Cuban district. And you’ll get to relive the gruesome, horrific (and delicious) noshing of the cake topper heart!
Chloe & Rudy’s chic goth historic mansion wedding
Let’s talk about the fashion going on here: black lace, Doc Martens, brocade tail coat, leather harness, and spiked Jeffrey Campbells — it’s a gothic wonderland of noir chic. Add in the backdrop of a haunted historic mansion and all the spiders, skulls, and pumpkins you could ask for on a dark night, and you’ve got this elegant affair (with Offbeat Bride vendor The Reverend D at the ceremony helm!).
A 1920s-era vintage wedding in a 19th-century Victorian house
In the mood for some fabulous vintage style? This wedding delivers. The bride, Courtney, gives us two dresses to satisfy our appetites: a lusciously beaded, green flapper-style number and a vintage 1920s dress with the actual accompanying headpiece, which we’ve been staring at covetously ever since we first saw it. There was even a photo shown at the wedding of the original bride wearing both pieces (look for it on the guest book table!).
