The offbeat bride: Naomi

Her offbeat partner: Casey

Location & date of wedding: First Assembly Church Chapel in Cedar Rapids, IA. November 1, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: For starters, I wore a black dress. It was actually a bridesmaid's dress, which made it tons cheaper.

Then, we did almost everything ourselves. I made our invitations on postcards. No real flowers — my bouquet was handmade from little christmas bulbs and tulle. Oh, and little white lights. Yes, it lit up!

Sometimes it's just the little details that I love…things like teeny skulls hidden through people's weddings. Like a skull necklace…

…or a skull ring.

You won't find many wedding stationers who divide their invites into categories like Rockabilly, Punk, Gothic, and Fetish — Uber Angel is one in a million!

Danni founded Uber Angel (based in the UK) because, as she explains on her about page, while there are a few non-traditional stationers out there, most of them are focused on "black & purple with celtic or mythical elements." And while sure, that works great for a pagan wedding, it might not work for those of you who want tattoo-themed invites for your rock 'n' roll nuptials. In addition to her standard offerings, Danni also does custom commissions.
