Fiery hair, rainbow details, and one awesome cookie bouquet

Tribesmaid Rekka somehow perfectly matched her two-tone feather fascinator to her two-tone hair. And trust me, the sneak peeks of the rest of the wedding live up to this hype. But that’s not all this week of reader submissions brings us. We’ve got a couple of awesome handmade save-the-dates, rainbow details, and even a cookie bouquet!

Retro Star Wars Save the Date is blowing my mind

I’ve seen a lot of Star Wars wedding invitations and Save the Dates in my internet years. But, I had yet to see one with awesome vintage flare, such as these Star Wars Save the Date postcards from Tribesmaid Marty. The front is, indeed, awesome, but it’s the back that’s making me do the R2D2 head spin.

A unicorn invitation, white and pink body art, and a stepping stool kiss

Pink boots, mustache flasks, and one killer comic save-the-date

Tribe member Deloreangrrl’s groom and his friend made this save-the-date comic strip from an old Batman comic for their Alice in Wonderland-themed wedding. And these were emailed to save on postage and to be kind to the earth. This, among many other excellent photos of boots, kilts, flasks, dresses, awesome ink, and a circus tent piñata, came from our reader submissions. I love it when the Tribe, the Offbeat Flickr Pool, and the Offbeat Bride Pinterest account come though for us with this kind of eye candy.
