December 2011 | Offbeat Bride

Alexis (of custom wedding hangers fame) and Rafe made a bit of wedding invite oopsie. They sent out their fabulous wedding invitations that included their fabulous RSVP response cards PRE-stamped… and that's what caused the problem. But thankfully, Alexis and Rafe had an AWESOME solution that would really work for ANY kind of wedding invitation disaster. So watch and learn, people.

Hey, fellow Star Wars nerds! Think you've gotten all your Star Wars-themed wedding decor all figured out already? Well, think again — I'm about to show you something that's gonna make you smash your imaginary reception table with the sheer brilliance of these…

You've seen this wedding teased here before, and since then, I've been dying to see more of this mythical, fantasy, gnome and fairy-filled Pagan wedding. Read on for all the forest-y details and amazing photos.

I have so many wintery wedding projects up my sleeve, but this week all my money for materials was zapped by those gifts I bought for my loved ones! Winter brides, you might be in the very same boat, so I decided to go with another cost-effective craft: paper snowflake boutonnieres.

I've rounded up some of my favorite get-away options for offbeat weddings. These suggestions range from the simple and silly to the outrageous and expensive. But all of them would make for great photos ops, if not major WOW factor.

After featuring Lenny's bridespaint at her wedding in the Netherlands, I had to investigate to see if this was becoming a THING. It's amazing and I want to see more! But so far I've only seen this particular brand of body art in Europe. Take a look at a couple of examples in this week's Superficial Snack.

Take two men in love, a weekend long party full of dancing, pies, and even Jazzercize, and you get the wedding of Chad and Matt. And any couple who provides parasols, ribbon streamers, and cardboard cutouts for their "gigantic gay discotheque" is aces in my book.

Maybe it's just Sostice coming up next week, but I am doing all I can to get as much light and sparkle and glitter into my life these dark days — and so this week, that means glittering shoes.

As always, I aimed for a range here — a range of prices, a range of heel heights, a range of style (well…sort of. It's always loud up in here) and a range of size availability. Toes crossed that you find something that makes your feet sparkle.
