Our favorite wedding ideas to steal
Is it rare to be encouraged to steal something? We happen to encourage you all to steal our Offbeat Bride ideas rather a lot. In fact, one of our biggest archives is full of wedding ideas that we’d really like you to steal, pretty please. And I couldn’t get all of my favorites on this list (though I made sure to include my favorite tip for a post-ceremony activity). What I’m saying is, you should go have a wander through that once you’re done with these 30 of my favorites.
Use floral-infused ice blocks instead of bags of ice
What you’re looking at are the prettiest blocks of ice ever. They’re the best thing for all your wedding ice needs. Offbeat Bride Maria explained how they were (surprisingly) affordably made…
Wear your activity tracker on your garter
Wondering where you’re gonna put your wearable tech on your wedding day? Do what Ruby did, and pop your Fitbit (or other activity tracker) on your garter, and watch as you rack up some impressive data.

I am huge into herbs, so I gasped out loud when I saw that Jeff and Brandon tucked sprigs of rosemary into the menus at their wedding. My favorite! If you’re not familiar, think of the warm comfort foods of winter — turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, and so on. You’ve probably eaten them flavored with rosemary!
This herb’s smell is savory, refreshing, and oh so appetizing. That makes it the perfect complement to a menu at a winter wedding! The aroma is subtle enough that it’s not going to knock anyone off their feet, but with a sprig at each plate, rosemary will definitely lend a delightful aroma to your reception area.
