Offbeat Bride | In the media

Offbeat Bride mentions in the news.

Offbeat Bride review in the Saskatoon StarPhoenix —

Offbeat Bride should be required reading for all alt-brides-to-be. This book is the vindication you’ve been looking for to tell you, no, you are not alone in having that automatic gag relfex to white poof and ruffles and the sound of Wedding March.

Blending cultural traditions in the name of love —

An Offbeat Bride mention in the Jewish Journal

Offbeat Bride interview in Girlistic Magazine —

“I wanted Offbeat Bride to be reassuring, not condemning.”

Offbeat Bride interview on Venuszine.com —

“It’s just an afternoon party — it’s not starving children. It’s not war crimes. It’s just a party and try, try, try to keep that in mind. There are much bigger things for all of us to wring our hands over.”

Offbeat Bride interview on Metroblogging LA —

“Offbeat weddings can be just as expensive and over-the-top indulgent as traditional weddings … just cuz it ain’t normal don’t mean that shit’s cheap!”

Negotiating special-needs diets —

Have a vegan wedding! (Another Offbeat Bride Elle Magazine excerpt for ya)

When I was in Vancouver a few weeks ago, I did an appearance on Urban Rush, a local magazine show. I think it was the best Offbeat interview ever — especially since one of the hosts started muttering about shrooms at one point. WTF?

My final book tour event is next Saturday in Los Angeles — if you want to come, lemme know so’s I can get you on the evite! Then I’m done with Offbeat Bride until I Heart Indie Weddings happens next January.

Honestly? WHEW.

High maintenance or offbeat: Which bride are you? —

Another offbeat excerpt from Elle Canada

Hey, I'm Ariel, author of the book Offbeat Bride: Taffeta-Free Alternatives for Independent Brides. This blog is just the tip of the offbeat iceberg — for the whole story you'll need the book, which is half memoir, half tipster handbook. I also blog at Electrolicious.
