Danielle & Davey’s participatory vegan bike parade wedding
When the whole party arrives in bike parade style, it’s sure to be a kick-ass and casual celebration. With the Georgetown Ballroom as the backdrop to both the ceremony and the reception, two bands and a DJ, a zine creation station, and a drawing contest, there wasn’t anyone without something awesome to do. And since these two are all about community, everything was crafted with love by friends and fam.
Krista & Rob’s colourful relaxed DIYed wedding
This wedding is full of eye candy including mug centerpieces with nesting doll favors, handmade clutch purses for the bridesmaids that matched their colorful shoes, and an adorably accurate custom cake topper on their rainbow dot cake! It was obvious that this wedding would be full of music, dashes of crafty goodness, and lots of love. There are also some key bits of advice in this one, including putting a time limit on your ring warming!
Starkers! Corsetry’s Offbeat Bride-inspired gowns
There’s a first for everything, and this marks the first time in five years that I’ve ever posted photos from a wedding gown fashion show. Runway shots just aren’t really my thing — I usually prefer seeing real people in real dresses, rather than gawking at designer stuff somebody might wear.
Leave it to Dianna DiNoble from Starkers! Corsetry[vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/dianna-dinoble-starkers-corsetry"] to make me change my mind. This show, part of Fashion Art Toronto‘s Fashion Week pretty much blew me away. While Offbeat Bride isn’t affiliated with any of these gowns in any way, Dianna told me that the line was very much inspired by the tastes of Offbeat Brides.
And oh my, what taste it is…
Dancing and prancing couples and some delish retro desserts
This week’s reader submissions had a lot of couples jumping, driving, dancing, and cheering, and they demanded to be put together into this Monday Montage! As a bonus, I pulled in a vintage candy buffet, some “cookie sliders,” and some very cool handmade vintage-style books used as invitations! You’ll either be inspired to dance or be really hungry by this collection.
