From the duct tape to muglies: all the little ways Offbeat Bride shaped my wedding
“I am very very very happy that I am not getting married pre-Offbeat Bride. I looked at a bridal magazine today and, instead of it intimidating me or making me feel bad about my wedding choices, it looked boring and dated. Where are the coloured dress options? Where are the rocking grooms? Where are the excellent budget options for the recession bride? Where are the wicked cool flower alternatives? They aren’t there.”

Let’s get our bean faces on and DIY the crap out of a rad reception coffee bar.
This BBQ wedding featured a “first rib”
These two totally embraced some awesome faves from Offbeat Bride: muglies, one of our favorite dress designers, Converse, hand-knitted shawls, and handmade handfasting cords. They took some advice to take a breather during the ceremony and totally rocked the venue selection (hello, gorgeous!).

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.
