December 2011 | Offbeat Bride

You know a vendor is doing something right when over 60% of their clients are offbeat brides! And that's exactly how our sponsor De Nueva Photography rolls. Nicki, of De Nueva, loves working with offbeat couples because she knows that y'all are laid-back, super creative, and generally just tons of fun, which then equals fabulous photos. Or, in her words, "I know it's awesome-ness in the making."

When you're gamers, metalheads, and all-around cool people, you can make an equally cool wedding with gothic details, a lovely black gown, and burlesque performers. But this pair also had to deal with mountains of snow keeping their guests trapped at home! Good thing they knew how to live stream it all from their laptop. Technology saves the day!

The Offbeat Flickr Pool was a rainbow of amazing dress colors for brides and their crew. Plus there are a few Christmas-y, snow-y photos to get you in the mood. Check out the colors of all seasons in this Monday Montage.

This wedding takes its direction from a desire to leave a small carbon footprint and to locally-source as much as possible. Having it in the state's first Platinum LEED-certified building was definitely apropos. The homemade hula hoops, butternut squash soup, and folk music were icing on this Star Trek-topped cake.

I will always remember Cassie Rose Photography from this Austin foodie wedding. That very first picture stole my heart from the second I saw it. Yup, Cassie Rose creates images that stand out, even to wedding porn over-saturated wedding bloggers! Keep reading to see what else Austin's Cassie Rose Photography can and will do…

Inspired by the theater scenes in Moulin Rouge, this pair combined the romance and the setting of the film with their Irish heritage in the ceremony and attire. A bagpiper, some Jones Soda, and a Hollywood screen kiss to remember make this a fabulous party.
