Geek chic Dungeons & Dragons meets a traditional Jewish ceremony

Dragon cake toppers, a giant D20, ring bearer teddy bears (who rocked the dance floor!), and a gorgeous traditional Jewish ceremony with a few added elements that made it personalized. This traditional meets geek wedding combines everything we covet. Just wait until you see the battle between Guilder and Florin at the reception!

Tentacle teal wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

The mirrored corset at this teal and tentacles firey wedding stole our hearts

Liz and Tony’s wedding inspiration came from trips and involvement in the Burning Man community where they met some of their closest friends. Some of our favorite parts were their customized outfits in teal and green with octopus light-up umbrellas, and their reception with fire dancers, fire sculptures, and a ring nest complete with robin’s eggs. Liz’s dress featured loads of tentacles and a corset made from shattered pieces of mirrored glass. You’ll absolutely want to see the whole shebang.

This Chicago brunch wedding slays us with board games and nostalgia

Davora and Roxy exchanged their vows at a kick-ass restaurant in Chicago, Carnivale. They had a board game-themed brunch reception with board game tables, board game centerpieces, and even board game dessert trays. They included Candy Land, Balderdash, Sorry!, and Cranium, among other nostalgia.

Nightmare Before Christmas wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

This Nightmare Before Christmas wedding is “simply meant to be”

As a Nightmare Before Christmas fan, I have a huge soft spot for Ashley and David’s wedding. Their Nightmare Before Christmas wedding is perfect for the time between Halloween and Christmas. Ashley looked fantastic, from her batty veil to her hand-painted shoes. David, the wedding party, and even the table and chair covers were spooky and elegant in shades of orange and black. Don’t miss the cupcake tower designed to look like the film’s iconic spiral hill.
