steampunk

We featured our first steampunk wedding back in 2007, and have been celebrating the Neo-Victorian aesthetic ever since! We’ve got everything from grooms in googles and top hats to brides in gorgeous bustled steampunk wedding dresses… if you like this look, be sure to check out our wedding corset archive, as well.

How a bride and her mother hand-crafted a fantastical steampunk wedding ensemble

I hope you have a spare pair of underthings at the ready, because after this post about Dana’s infathomably gorgeous hand-crafted steampunk wedding dress, you’re going to need to go change yourself. I mean, OBVIOUSLY everyone at this wedding looked like they just stepped out of some neo-Victorian psychedlic wet-dream, saturated in rich colors and brass baubles and amazingness. But the bride’s dress was crafted from an old prom dress and a parachute — the story simply must be shared, straight from the bride’s mouth.

Clay flowers, geeky grooms, and a rained-out bride with a smile

This week’s Monday Montage has a few geeky touches (always warranted), some really interesting clay flowers, throwback dance party moves, and a rained-out bride we can all learn from. The Offbeat Flickr Pool was a little dance-y, a little steampunk-y, and a little bit awesome.

Jenny & Damon’s quirky steampunk Buddhist wedding

There are a lot of things to love about this wedding like the bride’s silver and blue dress, the groom’s monocle and cane, and the surprising sake ceremony. But frankly, I’m in it for the doughnut cake and glow sticks. There is definitely something for everyone at this creative shindig.
