For some, having a “dark” wedding means candlelight and eggplant-colored bridesmaid dresses. For others, it is a wedding cake complete with fondant skulls and black frosting. For those brides that embrace their “dark side” and want a wedding that gives homage to the things that go bump in the night, here is a collection of cakes sure to inspire you.

Personally, I love it when a couple sends me a save the date magnet for their wedding; I can keep it on my fridge, think of them every time I go for some -ahem – vegetables, and somehow feeling more connected to their wedding. Terrill’s Tiles has taken the idea of a save the date magnet and cranked it up a notch.

Using tumbled stone tiles, she hand-stamps and hand-paints each tile individually for a completely personalized look. And, she has a great range of styles – her Skull version would go perfectly with OffBeat Bride’s Sacrificed free wedding website template, don’t you think? Plus, the magnets on the back are strong enough to hold thick, card-stock invitations so guests can keep all of your wedding info in one (very streamlined looking) place.
