Spot the pups, swords, & EPIC cape at this fantasy themed wedding

Spot the pups, swords, & EPIC starry cape at this fantasy themed wedding

Stephanie and Dylan met on an MMO video game and are nerdy and awesome together. They love their fur babies, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, board games, and more. So they took their fandom loves and incorporated it all in to their fantasy-themed wedding in Maryland. And if you think this sounds up your alley, just WAIT until you see Stephanie’s gorgeous cape that looks like the night sky…

Untitled 1 1 alternative wedding ideas from Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride)

Like Morticia & Gomez themselves, this Addams Family engagement shoot is #couplesgoals

Katrina and Catherine are wives, crafters, and costumers from Chicago. They take both decorating and relationship advice from Gomez and Morticia Addams (because who wouldn’t?!). They are relationship goals as are these two cuties. Here’s the scoop on their last-minute Addams Family engagement shoot that made us swoon…

This bride bought her black dress 30 year ago and finally got to wear it at her spooktacular wedding

This bride bought her black dress 30 years ago and finally got to wear it at her spooktacular wedding

Kat purchased her amazing black dress 30 years ago! She saw it in white, which wasn’t really her style, but the shop attendant told her it came in a few other colors including black. She bought it and packed it away. Kat never really saw herself ever getting married but deep down she thought that maybe she’d find a special someone and get to wear the dress…

Mawwiage in tights: a Princess Bride meets Robin Hood: Men in Tights wedding

There’s one definite way to get me excited about a wedding: tell me it’s a Princess Bride meets Robin Hood: Men in Tights theme. I am not worthy. Kaitlyn and Blaise love all things cosplay and Renaissance so it made perfect sense. We’re talking groomsmen in tights, two themed dresses and a crown for the bride (one that she made!), elf ears for everyone, and costumes galore including Gandalf, Dr. Strange, and Sonny and Sher-wood.

A most "strange and unusual" Beetlejuice wedding (with the movie wedding outfits!)

A most “strange and unusual” Beetlejuice wedding (officiated by Miss Argentina!)

We had a Beetlejuice themed wedding! It's a movie we both love and enjoyed growing up (my family used to call me Beetlejuice!) and when we got engaged, we both knew we wanted to do something different since Ryan’s a musician and graphic designer, and I love to cosplay and make teeth for a living. In with the theme of Beetlejuice, we got Ryan a burgundy suit, his groompeople's outfits were inspired by Otho, while my scouts (I am a HUGE Sailor Moon fan) wore black and white dresses with accents of red…

D&D, costumes, & epic music at this heavy metal wedding in Utah

Our wedding theme was Dungeons & Dragons! It's not just a game to us, it's a lifestyle. I have been playing since I was 12 — my dad Dungeon Mastered a group for me and my best girlfriends. Later, I met my husband through D&D. I have developed the most amazing friendships and family relationships through D&D and it only made sense to make it our wedding theme. We even picked character classes for the event. I was a Paladin and Henry was a Wizard…
