This Halloween wedding had mad scientist decor and a Sola wood flower wedding bouquet
When COVID canceled their big library wedding, Erin and Matt turned their plans into something stranger and more intimate: a Halloween micro wedding at a historic Airbnb in Madison, WI. Picture bubbling beakers, bookish decor, wood flowers crafted into a bouquet, and a cheeky skeleton keeping guard at the bar. Mad scientist vibes meet marital vows.
Books, love, and a lot of DIY at this queer wedding
I knew from the beginning that it was important to me, as a bisexual woman and someone with scoliosis, that I felt beautiful and myself on my wedding day. I dressed like the queer elf queen of my dreams.
At our reception, we had thrifted board games available for people who didn’t want to dance, and some of our friends played Trivial Pursuit all night!

My partner and I are huge book nerds. I recently published a love poem inspired by that fact… and I thought it might make a great reading for other bibliophile Offbeat Bride readers like us!
