OMG! Remember when Liz cut her hair AT her wedding!?

Our 2012 DIY editor, Liz, has already made a big impact on Offbeat Bride. She first grabbed our attention when she created those wacky wedding placemats, and the nerdy wedding survival kits. Then she created the flowchart to help save wedding parties and relationships everywhere. Oh, and you've gawked at Liz & Kevin's handmade, well-armed wedding party of adventurers. After a while I was all "Why don't you just become a contributing editor?" So please to welcome our newest DIY editor, Liz Gubernatis, with her first official DIY post… -Megan

Wax Seal made from a knight and a viking ship button

Wax seals lend a hand-made touch to invitations, place cards, and other paper-crafted pieces of a wedding. They're also a simple but gorgeous way to seal your handwritten vows until ceremony time, or to close a love letter for your significant other, all super-romantic-like. Beautiful seals are available commercially and from various vendors on Etsy, but here's a trick to making your very own at home with a small handful of supplies.

When an intimate forest ceremony becomes a Renaissance-inspired dance party reception, it's been a good day.

If you're having an Elvish, Celtic, or whimsical wedding theme (like Lord of the Rings!), Camias Jewelry Designs would be the PERFECT addition to your outfit. And if you're thinking "there's something vaguely familiar about Camias Designs" that's because there is!

When your groom is an artist capable of sculpting amazing gothic statues, you have to include them in your wedding decor. He also made their centerpieces and the amazing trees that fill their reception space. Kari does, and she and Rick DIYed this opulent, elegant, period-inspired masquerade Halloween wedding that we can all gawk at. Do gawk away, lovers.

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.

I geeked out on the Offbeat Flickr Pool entries this week. It was like you guys exploded with Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Lego, and Renaissance amazingness. Moar nerds FTW in this week's Monday Montage!

Lindsay and Joe crafted an amazing Renaissance-themed wedding complete with battle axe cake cutting. Here are some of my favorite details.
