Feathers, chains, and flowers: a headband roundup

The Offbeat Bride Tribe was buzzing recently about the trouble of finding killer headbands for wedding hairstyles. And you know what, it has been a long time since we talked headbands, which is a shame since they are awesome for long-haired and short-haired brides alike, and for any hair texture.

Val & Theron’s sparkly foodie costume change wedding

This wedding has a chic urban venue, lots of glam outfits (including three dress changes from the bride!), glow necklaces on the dance floor, and a very fun flipbook photo booth (with video!). Speaking of video, you’ll definitely want to check out this couple’s super cute pre-ceremony video. It was a really great way to get people in the mood for celebrating love.

Lara & Matt’s mid-summer musical forest wedding

Just a few of the elements of this wedding that I love: the “Just Married” skidder, the pine cone heart, the flash mob belly dance, the accordion accompaniment to the ceremony, the Black Hawk helicopter fly-over, and oh, about a million more things. You might want to check it out to see what I didn’t list.

Stacy & Jeff’s backyard masquerade glam wedding

When life takes away your venue, you take back the party… in your backyard! This couple wanted a kick-ass masquerade ball and they had it… masks, feathers, glam decor and all. The bride also had a network of people who helped them save money and DIY. Crisis averted.

Jen & Henry’s Old Hollywood-inspired with a touch of Assyrian wedding

The groom comes from a big wedding-loving Assyrian family, the bride wants to elope discreetly. Sometimes an Old Hollywood vibe is the draw that brings a reluctant bride around. Have some classic movie place cards, lots of feathers, some glowing and happy parents, and Old Hollywood glamour and everyone will go home happy. Plus they had some really sweet audience involvement during the ceremony.
