Aidan & John’s Celtic renaissance faerie handfasting

There’s a faerie attendant climbing under the bride’s skirt and a groomsmaiden finding out exactly what’s under all those kilts, and that’s just the beginning of this beautiful and sometimes bawdy renaissance faerie handfasting. These two and their castmates put one awesome production of a wedding, complete with royal officiating and Celtic music. Find out what color the bride changed into and how she managed the amazing sleeves as the evening went on.

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.

Papier mache centerpieces, fairy wings, and some awesome cake cuttings

Tribesmaid Remi crafted these epic papier mache chess pieces with her groom the summer before they got engaged. She says, “We’re not even that into chess, but after spending 100+ man-hours making them, they seemed like the perfect centerpieces.” This week’s reader submissions also bring us some playground fun, a family cake cutting, a not-so-family cake cutting, and a couple clad in fairy wings and a cape.

Jessica & Eric’s West Coast music festival-meets-traditional wedding

A gown with gorgeous plumage, winged children, naughty ring bearers, and a leg lamp cake that actually lit up! If that isn’t enough to grab you, there were scantily clad performers covered in food. WUT! Oh, and see if you can spy a certain Offbeat Bride staffer among the guests. OH: there is also a slightly NSFW photo. Be warned (and titillated).
