Truly offbeat ideas

Part of being an offbeat wedding blog is accepting all kinds of ideas and lifestyles that don't fit the mainstream ideas of "normal".  We not only accept these wonderful differences we celebrate them.  Here are a few cool wedding products that do not fit into Barbie and Ken's white wedding.
Groom and Groom Gay Wedding - 8 x 10 Archival Print

Rosydesignsonline has super cute prints available in a his/his and hers/hers wedding options.  I think this would be a great gift.  I bet Rosydesignsonline would even create these into wedding invitations. 

Same Sex  Wedding Cake Topper - Signature Series

Theenchantedcupboard creates all kinds of wedding cake toppers but these are my favorite.  I especially like that the couple is multi raced.  Completely custom varieties are also available.  
Gothic Tiara- A Stitch In Time of Neo Victorian Splendor

EJPcreations allows Gothic flare to come to life with this Neo Victorian tiara.  Handcrafted out of clock hands this piece would work for the Steampunk bride in the very best way.  Individuality is celebrated at this wonderful Etsy shop.
 

Classic 50s 4-Tier Tulle Crinoline 22 inches

Swankunderpinnings has amazing style.  1950's retro with today's modern colors.  Any bride wearing this will feel special and unique.  I love the variety of color coordinating crinolines available.  Add a matching hair fascinator or sash from Swankunderpinnings.  Can you imagine how a vintage dress would look with this under it?  WOW!

Wedding Budget


While trolling around the Internet for wedding planning ideas I happened upon this great printable wedding planning budget on About.com. A budget is probably the most important thing you can do to get ready for your wedding day .... And also the least fun thing, but essential for everything to run smoothly. This is just a basic budget of course so expand it where you need to, but it is a great starting point. Happy planning :)

Offbeat Wedding Party Attire Options


"Spare your bridesmaids the cost of a dress they'll hate and only wear once.
As an added bonus, Cushzillas fit all heights and body styles so nobody feels self-conscious!
Big boned or small breasted? No problem in a Cushzilla because you CAN'T TELL!. Your friends will love you for it!"
