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

This wedding was all about fairy garden meets Godzilla realness

When we talked about what we wanted most for our wedding day, “fun” was the number one item that came up. It was important to us that our wedding be joyous, loving, and a little silly, just like us. Once we found our wedding venue, a beautiful & bohemian private garden on the Allegheny river complete with a meditation hut & wandering chickens, the rest of the wedding came together fairly naturally.

Best grey wedding dress ideas for moody & romantic vibes

We’ve been seeing gray wedding dresses trickle in for quite a while now so we know it’s on the horizon as ultra perfect for upcoming fall and winter weddings. You can layer gray under white tulle, embroider it with beads, add black for a dark and moody touch… it’s just one of our favorite colors du jour.

Chime in with your favorite, or even better, if YOU’LL be rocking’ a gray dress yourself!

Alex and Glenn were OVERFLOWING with ideas for their wedding. Alex’s Indian heritage was featured during the ceremony overlooking Lake Michigan in Chicago by focusing on a stunning mehndi-inspired aisle runner. They held it at the spectacular Adler Planetarium(!) which capitalized on Glenn’s love of constellations. Think outer space colors like deep fuchsia, purple, and blue, and “under the sea”-themed invitation suite, centerpieces featuring constellations and sea creatures,

Don’t miss the two epic dresses the bride wore, the fabulous dragon cake, and the constellation coloring book…

A fantastical villainous Candyland sideshow music fest wedding

My husband and I live in and run a House Of Oddities Museum in Pittsburgh called Trundle Manor. We’re used to being surrounded by vintage taxidermy, dead things floating in jars, coffins, and our own art, so the wedding had to be grand enough and weird enough to suit us.

Our wedding cake was a zombified Marie Antoinette head festooned with feathers and candy! It sat alongside our faux wedding cake topped with the taxidermied squirrels we made on our first date in the basement.

This Guillermo del Toro-approved wedding costuming is seriously enchanting

I’ve been eagerly awaiting getting to talk about Silver Leaf Costumes. Y’all know I LOVE me some Renaissance and historical garb, especially when it comes to weddings. And costume weddings are always our jam. But not all corsetry and historical wear is up to wedding standards. Thankfully, designer Laura Elliot makes ultra high quality look easy. And it will make you look EPIC…

This bohemian wedding inspiration was designed all around the gorgeous vintage embroidered dress with intricate details and I can’t think of a better reason. It’s FAB. It had been up-cycled from an old tablecloth and had so many rich colors and metallics to inform all of the other details.

Don’t miss all the organic details, boho style, and of course, THAT DRESS!
