Offbeat Bride | Shopping

I'm all for DIY, but sometimes a girl just needs a funky pair of wedding shoes or a perfect set of red fishnets to coordinate with her dress. I have my lusty consumer moments. Don't you? (if you're a vendor who would like to appear on offbeat bride, click here!)

I've always thought that wedding china was a silly tradition — who wants flatware you're afraid to use? And I've just never seen china in patterns that I actually like.

As a fabulous alternative, Sarah Cihat makes amazing rehabilitated dishware, complete with silhouettes of animals, jolly rogers, rockers, and pin-up girls.
