OBT member Corinne inundated the tribe with some of the fabulous DIY projects that she and her fiance have been making for their Alice in Wonderland themed wedding. OBT members can see all of the projects by checking out her wedding update here.

But we were really delighted by her twist on on Naomi's ornament/lights bouquet. Corinne made it her own by adding some awesome crocheted flowers to the mix!

Thanks Corinne for this new twist on an old favorite! And to see how to make your own light-up ornament bouquet, click here!

We all know I'm a sucker for a colorful wedding, but my eyes almost fell out of my skull when Zahra emailed me about Anya's full-spectrum Australian rainbow wedding … the rainbow dress! The rainbow ribbon veil! The rainbow ribbon-flower bouquet! The RAINBOW EVERYTHING! Of course, it should surprise no-one that Anya runs a website called RainbowHairColor.com.

And now, who wants a ton more pictures, courtesy of Australia's Wildberry Design & Studio?

Since Offbeat Bride Kerry started a discussion called "Bouquet Alternatives" on the Offbeat Bride Tribe a wealth of amazing offbeat bouquet porn has been popping up. I thought I'd share a few of the unique and inspiring ideas.
