Pinterest wedding fever: When DIY (dried lavender and glitter paint) overshadows the wedding
When Pinterest was invented, it was created to share ideas — which is dandy! I still love to use Pinterest for that. But when it comes to things in our lives that we believe we are judged for (money, career, weddings), Pinterest can become a social peacocking site.
In honor of “plain and boring weddings”
On our Facebook page, I recently asked readers what they wanted to see more of from Offbeat Bride.

How to look (and feel!) amazing in your wedding photos
Wanna know how to look amazing in pictures? I can help you with that!

I had an anxiety attack right before my wedding: What it meant, what it didn’t, and how to cope
In an attempt to stave off further anxiety, I decided to do what any good writer would do and research.

That awful little voice in my head was telling me They are right, even though I knew they weren’t. Wasn’t there someone out there who suffered from anxiety and could relate to what I was going through?
