Chic-as-hell vintage lamps as centerpiece decor as seen on @offbeatbride

Chic-as-hell vintage lamps as centerpiece decor

Vanessa and Octavia had their industrial garden party wedding at the super industrial-chic venue, Tap Architecture in Oklahoma City. Our favorite part was their centerpiece decor that made their already gorgeously rough interior even more vintage-fabulous. The pair re-painted and re-covered all the lamps and lampshades used as centerpieces, cut custom fabric as table runners, and collected old books as decor. It was a labor of love that made us swoon for the homey vibe.

Don’t miss the gorgeous mohawk at this wildflower wedding

Kristen and Tim’s parents’ house was host to their wildflower wedding with artist touches. Mismatched vases full of wildflowers and herbs like sunflowers, lavender, sage, and thyme (including the bride’s bouquet!) adorned the trees, archway, and fences.

The bride is an artist and created the invitations, save-the-dates, AND the amazing coloring book favors which showed scenes of the couples from their favorite fandoms like Game of Thrones, Batman, and all kinds of video games. Definitely don’t miss the dinosaur touch on their cakes and the kick-ass Neverending Story guest book.

It’s easy to spot the adorable at this Where’s Waldo engagement shoot

Corrie and Aaron had the most amazing Where’s Waldo engagement shoot at a one-of-a-kind amusement park called Kennywood. They had a rad-as-hell day wandering around the park, interacting with all the guests, and just having a blast as Waldo and Wilma. This shoot sets the stage for their eventual carnival-themed wedding with a bounce house, dunking booth, and bonfire. Damn, that’s a lot of fun. Let’s see it!

It’s #dorklove at this comic book store and art gallery wedding

We’d already seen Puja and Michaels’s geektastic venue, but we’d never seen the actual wedding! We’ve got the whole shebang now including their comic book details (and of course, the rad comic book store venue!), Puja’s killer blue and white cocktail-length dress, used book centerpieces, library book place cards, and a “love formula” cake. This is one for the books… the comic books, that is…
