So, you met your future spouse when you worked together at a grocery store. What do your wedding photos look like? This, of course:  More photos of Lindsay & Mike over here. Since the photobooth "save the date" cards I featured a while back were so popular, I figured it was worth sharing this video showing you how to make your own. New England custom design and couture gowns from Seams — If your dream gown is gold lamé with a 12' train held by fairies with animatronic wings, Harper from Seams can make it! Specializing in corsets, Harper can also remake vintage and antique gowns. More info at seamstheshop.com.

I am an Auckland, New Zealand OBB and am thinking of asking my three brideswomen to just pick a dress they like (maybe within a colour scheme…?) I don't think they have to be matching because they are all uniquely beautiful and hopefully will feel more comfortable in something that they have picked out themselves. Have you got any pics of non-matching brideswomens' dresses? -Sabrina This is actually a very popular choice among offbeat brides — encouraging bridesmaids to wear something that generally coordinates, but isn't matchy-matchy.

What made our wedding offbeat: Our wedding theme was Steampunk (with a subtheme of Make New Friends!), our friend Kat officiated our wedding and we wrote our own ceremony. Also all of our "vendors" were friends! My make-up artist, the photographers, the DJ, the caterers — we all knew them and it seemed like there were no strangers at our wedding. It was wonderful to see everyone bringing their skills together to help out and contribute. Our wedding was much more about having fun than having rituals. I think that everyone there had a great time! Continue reading "Chelsie & Francesco's steampunk wedding" →

How adorable is this groom in his retro ruffle-shirted baby-blue tuxedo and handlebar mustache!?  More photos (including the bride in a stunning red dress!) can be seen over here.
Her offbeat partner: Dustin, Undergraduate Student SIU Location & date of wedding: Centenary Methodist and Hamilton's Catering Jacksonville IL. March 07, 2008 What made our wedding offbeat: For the wedding ceremony, we stuck with the tradition of a Christian church — but my brother Luke McQuillan, a local musician, played video game music including the Zelda Overland Theme for my bridal march. In addition I drew up a comic strip for the program. My friend Leslie Galloway made the dress which was a design we worked out together.
