decorated the site
officiated
cleaned
directed traffic
took photos
made corsages
and opened their home to us.

None of us have much money, and we enjoy compensating for that by making things.

So many of you contributed to our latest Pin Drive on Pinterest: hats and veil alternatives! We ended up with a STACKED board of all kinds of headgear like masks, cocktail hats, hoods, and headbands. I went through and selected the most interesting for this round-up, plus a few from our archives.

Two party animals, a bajillion hats, a confetti canon, and lots of Zelda. I dares ya to say that doesn't sound fun. Bill and Jenn know it to be fact, and partied the night away in an excellent concert venue with all of their nearest and dearest sporting hilarious headgear.

We plucked some awesome images from the Offbeat Flickr Pool and Offbeat Bride Pinterest account this week. Some were sweet, some were crafty, and all were awesomely YOU. From your submissions to our eyeballs, here are the latest additions in the weekly Monday Montage.

Sarah made her daughter a glittery mini top hat, inspired by the most controversial of Halloween candies: candy corn! (Some HATE it, some LOVE it.) I happen to hate candy corn, but I LOVE this fantastic hat.

A Halloween theme, zombie-themed live band, and a saber arch in one wedding? Hell yes. This rockin' party had these influences and more, including pumpkin carving, a candy buffet, and real live trick-or-treaters busting in. Even though the bride almost didn't get her dress in time due to a volcano(!), they still managed to host a kick-ass party, giving us another great wedding for Halloween week.

This Monday Montage is full of amazing dress fashion, skull shoes, pink saddle shoes, zip lining, and even some wings. The Offbeat Flickr Pool wins again!
