The pop-up centerpieces alone are click-worthy, but just wait until you see the brides’ outfits, five-tiered rainbow cake, fairy flower girls, gondola ride to the ceremony, and illustrated program. This wedding has so many amazing details that our heads asploded. Oh, and don’t miss the amazing flipbook photo booth favors. We get to see them in action!

Kara & Gary’s fantasy fairy tale heavy metal wedding

Some girls dream of their fairy tale wedding and some girls take that pretty literally, as is the case with this bride’s fantasy fairy tale-themed wedding. Elf ears, Shrek costumes, fabulous hoods and capes, and a sign pointing to all your favorite fantasy haunts.

A magical Monday Montage with fairies, horses, and RAINBOWS

It was kind of a magical week for reader submissions. I encountered fairy wings, a fantasy destination sign, a horse-drawn carriage, and multiple rainbows. More rainbows is always better. Check out what else we found in the Offbeat Flickr Pool, the Offbeat Bride Tribe, and Pinterest this week.
