Punk meets horror wedding as seen on @offbeatbride #punk #wedding #purplehair

This punk meets horror wedding has the purple-haired dreaminess we can’t live without

Heather and Errol are high school sweethearts who love horror movies and punk, and a little bit of each was injected into the theme of their Canton, Georgia wedding. Heather, a hair stylist, rocked hot purple locks with her vintage dress and DIYed glittery shoes. From the Bride of Frankenstein cake topper to the record guest book and live painting they had done of the ceremony, the details of this punk meets horror movie wedding are killer.

You’ll freak over this rainbow wedding dress

My rainbow dress was DIY: I bought a cheap Mori Lee dress & a strip of rainbow organza off eBay, then I cut bits I didn’t like off — and sewed then the rainbow under the lace.

The handmade masks at this Chicago Halloween wedding are #goals

Sam and Justin’s Chicago Halloween wedding featured handmade costumes, vinyls, a flower girl throwing googly eyes, and a first look in a cemetery. Before the ceremony, they rocked some portraits at Laurie’s Planet of Sound and Ash’s Magic Shop. Our favorite part was the elaborate handmade Halloween masks and subsequent mask makeouts. Halloween couples: it’s time to be inspired, and like the sign says, “Let’s get weird.”

Can you imagine a more romantic way to share your intimate vows? Don’t miss the bride’s fabulous floral gown, the scenic sights at the hotel, and the hailstorm that followed.
