The offbeat bride: Erin, Program Supervisor

Her offbeat partner: Tadd, Freelance Narrative Artist and Illustrator

Date and location of wedding: Beachfront vacation rental in Yachats, OR — August 22, 2011

Our offbeat wedding at a glance: Tadd and I were married on our eighth anniversary, and we had spent several years discussing what we wanted for our wedding. Outdoors? Check. Water involved somehow?

Guys, I'm not the least bit embarrassed about how much I really love writing about offbeat sponsor Little Things Favors. I love looking at all the awesome wedding ecoutrement that can be found over there. I even recently bought party favors for my grandma's 80th birthday from Little Things! But don't let their name fool you — Little Things Favors offer much MUCH more than just favors. You can get practically ANYTHING you want for your wedding over there. Allow me to show you a few of my favorites little things (see what I did there?)…

The Offbeat Flickr Pool was sporting some icy drinking, fire dancing, and all things cute and sweet. It was quite the contrary mix of photos. Check out the dinosaur luges, ball and chains, and paper flower explosions in this week's Monday Montage.

Cake toppers were popular in the Offbeat Flickr Pool. You'll also see a smidgen of parasols, tats, and a maypole too in this week's Monday Montage.

Here's a fun fact. What do you get when you combine a Twilight Jacob action figure and a Watchmen Silk Spectre action figure, plus a little creativity? You get this freaking awesome cake topper!

The Offbeat Flickr Pool offered up some gorgeous scenery, color-coordination, and a dapper send-off. I think you're going to like thisMonday Montage

While the Custom Wedding Shop is in the Offbeat Lite category, the fact that they do fully customizable everything means that we can't wait to see what you guys come up with — Elliott Smith lyrics? xkcd comics? Zombie vows? AWW YEAH.
