Hey, I'm Ariel, author of the book Offbeat Bride: Taffeta-Free Alternatives for Independent Brides. This blog is just the tip of the offbeat iceberg — for the whole story you'll need the book, which is half memoir, half tipster handbook. I also blog at Electrolicious.
You're reading a page from the offbeatbride.com archives. You can read the
alternative wedding blog and access all webpage features on the
offbeatbride.com homepage.
