December 2011 | Offbeat Bride

You say you want some geek chic in your life? We're bringing it hardcore with this wedding. Gamers, sword fighters, King Richard VIII, the full Princess Bride ceremony, a D20 that determines who kisses who… it's fantastic. Put your nerd pants on and check out this kick-ass wedding brought to you in the name of all things geek!

You might remember Uggh as the person who helped you make your own brooch bouquet. But she's also the person who's gonna help you get your friend to officiate your California wedding.

I'm making my own wedding dress… and I just don't know what I'm going to do with it afterwards. If it was going to be a shop bought dress, I wouldn't have an issue selling it, but because of the amount of work that I'd be putting into it, I think it'd feel a bit odd to sell it… but on the other hand I think it'd feel odd to just keep it boxed up somewhere.

I'm basically wondering what you will be doing with your dress after your weddings are over and done with.

Braided hairstyles abound on Pinterest, but this one totally stuck out as lovely AND ultra-easy! Check out this teased, pinned, and braided style that would be perfect with a fascinator, headpiece, or some simple flowers.

What do you need to get married? This couple says just Vegas, some friends, a little black dress, and a boot full o' booze! And I'm inclined to agree. In fact, I'm a bit envious of a whole night carousing in a pink Caddy, grabbing strangers for photos, and hitchin' rides in limos. Sign me up!

A few months back, I did a post about slightly sinister plus-size honeymoon lingerie and y'all seemed to like it. I figured I'd do another quicky post featuring some more undergarment gorgeousness, this time focusing on bloomers, knickers, and other sexypants.

Now, as the subject might suggest, this might not be a post to read at work. I mean, there's no bare boobs or anything, but there is some serious come-hither glancing going on. So, read the full post at your own peril.

After getting their pictures back, offbeat bride Katie, in her infinite wisdom, immediately emailed her New Jersey-based photographer Neil van Niekerk and told him: "Given the wonderful work you did for our wedding, I was thinking you should definitely be on Offbeat Bride so other offbeat brides in our area can find you!" So he did. And we are. And he's even offering freebies!

A photo studio isn't an obvious choice for a venue, but when you see it, you'll love it. Add in a vegan menu, DIY invites, and even a little dress snafu, and you've got a start. And don't forget to check out their engagement announcement! It is adorbs.
