Video makeup tutorials for masquerade weddings WITHOUT masks

I saw this starburst-y, feathery makeup look on Pinterest and instantly fell in love with it thinking it would be amazing for a contemporary masquerade look (sans mask), an ’80s wedding, or any theme that demands an epic makeup look. I’ve pulled a few other tutorials that would also lend themselves to a modified masquerade, fairy wedding, or just a kick-ass bold bride.

Geeky undies for a sexy wedding night surprise

We’ve already covered wedding night nookie and keeping it special. But perhaps some of you would rather keep it hilarious and surprising? Maybe your partner is a classic movie monster fan and the sexiness above would show just how much you want to please them. I went on a hunt for more geeky, fangirl-y, and just plain fun panty/undie/boxer options for the wedding night (or the next day, depending on how tired you are!).

10 bad-ass bespectacled brides (and some grooms in glasses!)

It’s been awhile since we had a collection of brides in spectacles, so I thought it was high time for another look. We definitely get a lot of them in our real life weddings, so we know it’s popular among our Offbeat Brides. Plus, there’s a helping of grooms in glasses too. So put on your glasses so you can see what the hell is going on in this superficial snack of sexy bespectacled brides!
