Creative Alternatives for Independent Brides

A couple who meets while learning lightsaber combat would certainly have a Star Wars theme in mind, right? Not these two. Their offbeat-ness comes straight from their traditional choices! They decided on a very traditional Jewish ceremony, but still included a few geeky touches to make sure everyone knew they were still nerds at heart.

Jehnua has a few extra wedding dresses that she got super cheap on Craigslist. One she'll wear at her reception, another one she'll turn into a zombie bride dress for the annual local Zombie Walk (obviously!). But what to do with the others…

I wanted to put out tissue boxes for guests to use during the ceremony, but I wanted to decorate them to match my wedding. I think these turned out adorable, and they're easy and cheap to make! Here is a tutorial.

The collections from our very first Pin Drive on Pinterest is here! We're showing off gloves galore. Demure, lacy gloves, long leather gloves, rainbow fingerless gloves, and sexy leather gauntlets rolled in. We've compiled our faves for your glove-loving pleasure.

"We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." And this couple knows just how to throw a mad tea party on a budget, complete with key motif, Wonderland readings, and hats galore, natch. Plus they accented everything with peacock feathers… and real peacocks came around to steal them back!

My partner, Alex, and I took a day off from work to attend to some wedding-related appointments. And now I know why men often don't want to be included in wedding related appointments, and it's not because they're not interested.

This New York City wedding boasts a book store setting, lovely fashion, pretty Ketubah, and one of the cutest choreographed first dance numbers on record. Get ready for total adorableness and lots of movie references. Because nobody puts this wedding in a corner, okay?

Out in the Maine woods, and just a little bit lost, this wedding came together with the spiffiest wedding party this side of Serenity. A little bit steampunk, a little bit Firefly-inspired, and a whole lot of geek-tastic love made this party a woodsy, DIY, and inked-up awesome-fest.
