January 2011 | Offbeat Bride

Another Monday, another Montage. Recently, the Offbeat Bride Flickr pool has been flooded with red and white weddings and I've been loving all of the ornate red details … hence, this week's theme. So, enjoy a few white wedding dresses with pops of red, some divine red accessories, and one red hat-as-frisbee.

Ariel and I just freaked the eff out over the latest photos in the Offbeat Bride Flickr pool. (It might be because we are both a little high on caffeine). Regardless, I literally couldn't wait until next week to share these HAWT photos! So, this morning we're gettin' a little crazy on Offbeat Bride and doing the first ever Monday Montage: part two.

Unhappy truth: It's hard to find an abundance of gay-friendly and/or gender neutral wedding stuff. From advice, to porn, to products our gender-bending, same-sex loving friends constantly get the shaft. We got a request for advice on where to find same-sex cake toppers, so I thought I'd show you some of the ones I've found over the years.
