Announcing the birth of our sister site: Offbeat Mama!

These businesses have paid a fee to be listed on offbeatbride.com because they feel their wedding products and services are in-line with offbeat brides' philosophies and needs — and I agree. Here's more info about how advertising works on offbeatbride.com.

We're back with another new jewelry feature from Turtle Love Committee where we feature some of our favorite from their new lines of necklaces and earrings. Again, I feel the need to point out that we love them because they focus on jewelry that’s eco-conscious and made by independent artisans. Really, these people are good eggs — you can read about the people and the TLC philosophy and see for yourself.

Offbeat Discount: OBB readers that subscribe to the TLC mailing list will get a 20% off coupon, good through 12/20.

Like the miniature lithographs necklaces that we featured a little while back, these lovebirds necklaces are made by a husband-and-wife team in their home studio using at least 50% recycled silver. And the sweet thing about these babies is that they can worn all symbolic-like to represent you as a couple!

Or, added bonus, they can also represent family ties… they come in single parent or a two-parent team. A perfect gift option for the new moms or step-children in your life as you build your own nest through marriage.

Go check it out, lovebirds!

Nataliya Cole is a brilliant photographer based out of Los Angeles. I say "based out of" because she's willing to work anywhere.

"I LOVE to travel (especially to Northern California, Portland, Ann Arbor, New York and Connecticut), so if you are having your wedding in a cool location but budget is tight, I'm totally willing to work something out — either a discount rate or I might be willing to travel on my dime. And my passport's current."

Along with her passport, she can also bring her experience as a fashion and advertising photographer. And who doesn't love a photographer that can make a bride look like a model? I mean hellooooo…

Type Z - Markela (Winter White) - FootwearWith winter and early spring weddings approaching fast, I figure now's the time to indulge in some fabulous bridal boots. So this week's shoe freak-out will be about wedding boots perfect for rain, sleet, snow, or even just a nice indoor venue.

Y'all should know me by now: I like daring (aka LOUD!!) wedding shoes, and I've geeked out a full range of boots here, ranging from spikey heeled boots to my beloved expensive-but-comfy Fluevogs to Doc Martins to rubber wellies perfect for rainy spring weddings.

So put on your shoe whore hats, and let's dive in, shall we?

Oh you Austin brides. I'm still so jealous of your access to long-time Offbeat Bride sponsor, Whitney Lee Photography. Whitney recently sent me these photos of Leah & Evan (and baby Ada's!) Chinese/Jewish wedding, and I'm just blown out.

You've got to see these shots of the breastfeeding bride, elegantly non-matching bridesmaids, and all the details…
