Signs, cards, and zombies: 11 “thank yous” for post-wedding warm fuzzies

Here in the U.S. we’re celebrating Thanksgiving today. Lots of countries have a version of this holiday: Canada and Grenada’s in October, Liberia’s earlier this month, and the Netherlands shares our date. Here on Offbeat Bride we have a lot to be thankful for, like our awesome readers, supportive community, advertisers that keep us going, and amazing guest posters. From all of us, we thank you for all you do.

Simple afternoon tea wedding menu

Now that we’re back to catering our own wedding (with major help from the wedding party), I whipped up a concrete version of the simple afternoon tea wedding menu that’s been running around in my head. I’m aiming to keep this very very simple to spare us stress and cost and time.

Pretty vintage wedding accessories: capelets, gloves, headpieces, and more!

I normally focus my Friday posts on alternative wedding shoes, today I think I’m going to spend some time with vintage wedding accessories.

Part of wanting to spend some time with them is just that the pictures are so dang pretty. I love this aesthetic… vintage-y, romantic, lovely. It’s just so dang pretty.

This bride was carried to the altar in a coffin!

How do you walk down the aisle when your theme is “Till Death do Us Part” and you’re getting married in an Northern California cemetery? If you’re Kristen, you surprise the hell out of your groom by entering in a coffin carried by the groomsmen.

Yeah, yeah: I know LAST week was our week for spooky weddings, but trust: you’re going to want to see Kristen and Joe’s sweetly macabre video. It’s way more heartwarming than the title of this post suggests.
