Show Your Style at Your Wedding Reception: TARDIS Candleholders and Papercrafts!

It's your prerogative to embody your style at your wedding, even if that means taking a step over to the geeky side.

It's your prerogative to embody your style at your wedding, even if that means taking a step over to the geeky side. We spotted these adorably geeky wedding centerpieces, captured by Hibou Photography, which give the wedding a fun and personal touch without going overboard in the cheese department.

Wondering where you can get your own TARDIS candleholders? We found something similar on Etsy for $22 a pop. And while the Cubeecraft papercrafts may take some time (and lots of bridesmaids) to put together, they are a cute addition to any tablescape. Check out a few more photos in the gallery!

Don't Have Four Grand For an Hermès Bag? Download One!

Look, I don't have time to be on any sort of waiting list (unless Nintendo or Apple release something else, then we're talking) or, you know, the $4,000+ it takes to have a real Kelly or Birkin bag by Hermès.

Look, I don't have time to be on any sort of waiting list (unless Nintendo or Apple release something else, then we're talking) or, you know, the $4,000+ it takes to have a real Kelly or Birkin bag by Hermès.

Turns out that it's a good time to be a geek, because high-end designers are recognizing their wired admirers — the other day, Chanel released their own app, and now Hermès wants you to have your own low-budget Kelly — by downloading it!

If you're down with papercrafts but wish your crafts ended up more Upper East Side than the monsters from Gobeesta, then download this from Hermès' website by clicking "I want it" (of course you do). Proceed as you would any papercraft — that is, cut, glue/tape, and then color to your heart's desire. Look at you — a free, custom Hermès!
