Tinywater Photography recently posted about Jocelyn & George’s Piedmont, California wedding … and it features a few of my favorite offbeat labels … a dress by Wai-Ching, and boots by Fluevog. In fact, I have these same boots in black, and those bitches are HAWT, and even more important for me: super comfortable.

(Budget note: I was able to find the boots for almost half-off a while back on Amazon … but it doesn’t look like they’re available any more.)

But Jocelyn & George’s wedding was about more than just fashion. The bride and groom are both avid birdwatchers, so the whole event was bird-themed including this shot of the bride and groom with their bird-watching binoculars. So cute!

To see more beautiful shots from Jocelyn & George’s beautiful bird wedding, head on over to the Tinywater Blog.

When I asked Katie about her amazing 1920s-style wedding headband, she reported that it was the work of Etsy seller Boring Sidney, who makes amazing little hats and headpieces of all sorts.

And if you’re looking for lots of vintage wedding inspiration, you must flip through Mario and Katie’s wedding pictures. He’s a magician, and she’s his assistant — so of course their wedding looked like this:

I’m all for white dresses, red dresses, blue dresses, purple dresses, but ZOMG I actually gasped out loud when I saw this picture of Kelly Devoto’s fantastical colorful peacock-y wedding dress — which it turns out was actually designed to be a prom dress.

Seriously, it’s like a My Little Pony and Tinkerbell totally got it on nasty-style in a magical rhinestone shop and this dress was their sparkling bastard love child. And I mean that in the very best possible way! I’m totally in love.

I’ve got a detail shot of the bodice and bouquet below, along with the bride’s story of where she got the dress. I’m looking forward to telling you much, much more about this Los Angeles wedding some day in the future.

We all know I love Wai Ching wedding dresses — but I’ve never seen an entire wedding party decked out in Wai Ching. It’s hot!

Even the groomsgirl got her own coordinated dress:

I am absolutely in love with this head-to-toe striped ensemble. A little goth, a little vaudeville, a little circus — all stunning.

…Perhaps I’m a teeny bit biased — I own a version of the custom bustle jacket by Kambriel that the bride is wearing.

But it’s not just about the jacket — look at that hat! The little adorable top hat! I know this is my second top hat in a week, but I love them! Looks like this one was made by Topsy Turvy Design.

Lots more pictures from this fabulously goth Ohio wedding on acid_poptart’s livejournal.

If your tastes run toward the elvish, fairy, medieval, celtic or renaissance styles, you pretty much can’t do better than Rivendell Bridal. The gowns ain’t cheap, but the inspiration is free!

I have stretched earlobes, 2G to be precise. Not as big as they could be, but they’re definitely not bridal-jewelry accessible. Even though my ears are larger-than-the-average-bride, I want to play with the wedding bling too! i’ve seen some beautiful large-gauged fancy filigree, and diamond studded plugs online, but I’ve yet to find anything that really looks “wedding day” to me. have you run into any other large-gauged brides who’ve faced this issue and succeeded fabulously? i’m desperate for some inspiration! -Laura Sina

I love it when I get questions that other people have already answered for me. There’s a whole discussion happening right now on the OBT about earrings for stretched lobes — and I figured I’d borrow some of my favorite answers from there to share, plus some of my own findings.
