goth wedding | Offbeat Bride

Avail & Company loves offbeat brides and offbeat brides love them. How can you tell? Well, you've already seen one of their unforgettable custom wedding dresses being happily worn by an OBB. But you know they love you because they're offering all OBBs a sweet-ass deal…

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I wanted to repeat what Ariel said. I am also incredibly thankful for all of you and for the hours of joy and LOLs that all of your wedding photos provide me. Give yourself a high-five, because you rock! Anyway, getting back to business, this week's Monday Montage starts off with a bang (pun intended ). It also has some impressive lookin' ladies, a little steam-punk, a little goth, a few umbrellas and some good old fashioned boogie time.

When I saw this wedding in the OBB Flickr Pool, I was like "OMG! I must know everything about this amazing red haired, punk rock, mohawk wedding! EVERYTHING!" And it was WAY awesomer than I thought — there is a body modification ceremony, co-mohawks, the Looney Tunes theme song, and a DIY cake. As Megan said recently, while all of us love all kinds of Offbeat weddings, we, also, all have our own fantastic brand of Offbeat. This is mine, y'all! Enjoy! – Becca

Sparkly and Bones couldn't imagine having anything but an epic, rock 'n roll, burlesque night club wedding. There was burlesque, trapeze, hooping, skits, and an anti-bridezilla movie. How much more epic could it have been? Answer: It couldn't have been more epic. -Becca

Beth and Todd got married on their 12 year anniversary: Halloween 2009! They had a personal ceremony with a costumed friend serving as officiate. Their guests surprised them with their elaborate costumes and they surprised their guests with a first dance rendition of Thriller.

It's the week before Halloween and you know what that means… it's time for HALLOWEEN WEEK on Offbeat Bride! Whoo hoo! I love to geek out over theme weeks and Halloween week is one of my favorites — spooky decor, costumed guests, epic dresses and lots of candy! Let's kick it off with Emma and Gary's gothic Halloween wedding in a castle in Northern Ireland. -Megs

Steff Metal has created an online wedding planner that she calls the Gothic Wedding Planner and it could be the answer to your overwhelmed wedding planning prayers.

This Monday I was overwhelmed by all the amazing couple portraits in the Offbeat Bride Flickr pool. You'd be surprised how many profile submissions we get where the couple has little to no photos of just the two of them. I was really excited to see so many irresistible shots of the bride and groom. Keep 'em coming! Feel free to click on a photo you like to see more.
