This is Offbeat Bride’s archive of posts written by Ariel.

A writer and editor for over a decade, Ariel Meadow Stallings has been published in magazines and newspapers like Modern Bride, ReadyMade Magazine, and Seattle Weekly. Her work has been featured by the New York Times, Today Show, and The Guardian. Ariel's book, Offbeat Bride: Creative Alternatives For Independent Brides, was first published in 2007 with a second edition in 2010. Ariel lives and loves in Seattle with her yoga instructing husband and a small dog, and gave birth to a son in November 2009 … which works out nicely since she just launched Offbeat Bride's sister site, Offbeat Mama.
