You can have it both ways by planning a low-budget wedding. We need to talk about the real stuff in wedding planning like pricing and budget - not just about what to buy, but what to do and how to make the most out of your resources. With a little creativity, you can pull off a wedding successfully without having to overspend. You might even find it very empowering and more satisfying than if you were to do otherwise. There's nothing wrong with mixing things up in your wedding and surprising your guests and yourselves with new and exciting ways to celebrate your big day. Almost all weddings are similar, and that's an advantage - you don't have to be too crazy to stand out. "You don't have to go broke to have a beautiful wedding" — Suki Check this out!

Ariel Meadow Stallings became internet famous at the OffBeat Bride and is now the author of a nuanced self-help book “From Sh!tshow to Afterglow: Putting Life Back Together When It All Falls Apart”. She wrote the books after dealing with her own medical crisis, divorce, and business setbacks that left her life in shambles. Today, she’s joining us from the home recording studio inside her closet!   Ariel talks about how her identity as an “offbeat bride” then added another aspect of complication to her divorce. In the midst of feeling like she was falling apart, she turned to BDSM therapy. Through her traditional therapy, she talked through a new sexual exploration she wanted to go on after her divorce. This experience allowed her to grapple with the ideas of resistance and surrender with her issues. Ariel talks about her journey into this new world of BDSM and teaches Donnica what a glory hole is!

An interview with Ariel Meadow Stallings of Offbeat Bride

Today we are talking with the executive editor of Offbeat Bride, Catherine Clark. If you’re in the mood to be inspired in a way that rocks a totally different feel than your conventional wedding planning inspiration, then be prepared to be blown away Offbeat Bride. Offbeat Bride is so much more than kickass bridal candy. It’s about reality; real life. Real couples, real weddings and real different than what you’re used to seeing. Plus Offbeat offers a tremendous about of wedding planning advice strewn throughout the site. •We’re seeing so many different possibilities. It really runs the gamut… if you want a large wedding, a small wedding, gay, straight, whatever you are whoever you are and whoever you’re marrying, there’s a celebration for you. Looking at OBB we can help you get there, and it doesn’t mean that you have to wear white and fit in this particular box… We have to be inclusive, we’re all in it together, people! •People are blending in (to their weddings) what works for them. But, with the blend comes a lot of choice, and sometimes having too many choices is really difficult. •If you’re going cookie-cutter, it’s a waste of time now. There are so many options and you can do whatever you want, so why would you go cookie-cutter? •Trying to be different in a way that is not authentic to you can be really trying and can take a lot of time. •Listen as we answer a juicy + difficult “Dear Bitchless."

Hear from Markie Jones, owner of Markie Jones Photography. “If you're a little on the off beat side, or just love to wear your Uggs year round (no judgement here!) you're in the right place! My work has been seen on Offbeat Bride, Zola, Aisle Memories and Pretty Pear Bride! While I'm a PNW girl at heart, I love being able to travel and no distance is too far!” www.bestmadeweddingvideos.com

Are you intimidated with the thought of building a photography brand that represents you? In episode 88 of the Bokeh Podcast, Danette Chappell shares how she built a brand that reflected her style and attracted adventurous couples eloping in Las Vegas. Listen in as she provides three steps to creating a powerful brand that you’re passionate about. The Bokeh podcast is brought to you by Photographer’s Edit: Custom Editing for the Wedding and Portrait Photographer. You can also subscribe to the Bokeh podcast on the Apple podcast app, add to your playlist on Stitcher, or listen on Overcast. About Danette: Danette is a Las Vegas-based wedding and elopement photographer who's photographed over 1,500 weddings and elopements in 14 different states. She has a passion for teaching business and helping other creative entrepreneurs succeed. She’s also a staff writer for Fstoppers.com and leads a monthly entrepreneur meeting for creatives in Las Vegas. She’s been featured in many online publications including Shoot and Share, Offbeat Bride, Forbes, The Knot, Weddingwire, and Bridal Guide. She also loves cats, Harry Potter, and the occasional video game. Danette’s Aha Moment: After being in business for a few years and moving to Las Vegas, she realized that she was so focused on the technical aspect of her business that she had no interest in the business side of her business. When she decided to take the business side seriously, she saw a positive change in her business. She made this change by investing in education to learn more about business rather than technicalities of photography. Danette’s Advice on Creating Free Time: Set the expectations with your clients of what hours you’re working and you don’t have to go back on it. How to Stand Out in A Group of Photographers Create a niche that you love. Danette’s Niche: High-end adventurous elopements. What is a brand? The perception that is in someone’s mind when they think of your company. Steps to Create a Powerful Photography Brand: 1. Know and understand your “why.” 2. Define your ideal client. 3. Create a clear distinction for your brand.

As the previous episode on this subject (#129) can attest to, the people who blog about their weddings on Offbeat Bride are really into nerdy things. And it's okay if you don't believe me on this, because they'll be more than happy to provide evidence. Much more evidence than you could ever possibly need! Do you like it when people reference other things? These people do! This week, The F Plus has a hard time picking a funniest moment, since we are comedy writers.

Guest Ariel Meadow Stallings, creator of Offbeat Bride, offers a behind-the-scenes perspective on weddings.

Ariel Meadow Stallings is the proprietor of several "offbeat" sites about weddings, home and life, and families under the rubric Offbeat Empire. She started the wedding site in 2007 to promote a book on creative alternatives for brides, which built an audience hungry for much more of the same. She obliged and has been building her empire full-time since 2009. Sponsors & patrons This podcast is made possible through the support of sponsors and patrons. We've started a new kind of ad: "indie ads"! If you're a solo creator or small firm, we're offering discounted short ads with the kind underwriting of Cards Against Humanity. (CAH just launched a site where you can buy directly from them, including their Bigger Blacker Box and their 2012 and 2013 holiday packs, the profits from which are donated to charity.) Our indie advertisers this week are: Heat, a new card game by Dave Chalker that's quick to learn and takes about 15 to 30 minutes to play. Players plan heists and try to keep the "heat" off themselves. It features snazzy art and is being funded on Kickstarter. Visit the campaign for more details. The surreal and sublime Andrew Ferguson. He has no product to sell you and he has no URL for you to visit. Thanks also to patrons Bryan Clark, Rönne Ogland, and Mike Mansor for supporting us directly through Patreon! You can back this podcast for as little as $1 per month. At higher levels, we'll thank you on the air and send you mugs and T-shirts! Show notes Teresa Valdez Klein and Noah Iliinsky met through Ignite Seattle and got married during an event in May. My wife, Lynn, and I were married in a chapel at Fort Worden and had our reception in a former dirigible hangar (now a theater). Ariel's book is Offbeat Bride: Creative Alternatives for Independent Brides. My Economist article about people who leave the 3,000th review on a popular book or item. Facebook's director of product ranted about the trivialization of news. Marisa McClellan runs the Food in Jars blog, and found her following of nearly 150,000 "likers" on Facebook resulted in 80 people seeing a recent post. Huh. She and I spoke last summer for the podcast. The Oatmeal is a popular webcomic; its creator is based in Seattle. Offbeat Bride covered a wedding at reBar in Brooklyn, which shut down shortly afterwards. The article went up after its owner had been charged with tax evasion, and the site dealt with criticism rather superbly in the comments. We ran an article in The Magazine about BuzzFeed's use of images that they often don't license, and discovered that their methods likely fall within fair use. Co-working has become hot again. In Seattle, Office Nomads is the veteran shop and is expanding. Ariel and I met at We Work, a new high-end space for startups that's quite affordable given the amenities. I'm looking into co-working at Ada's Technical Books and Café, the owner of which I interviewed in a podcast not long ago. (Photo of Ariel by Jenny Jimenez for Tugboat Yards.)
