This Guillermo del Toro-approved wedding costuming is seriously enchanting
I’ve been eagerly awaiting getting to talk about Silver Leaf Costumes. Y’all know I LOVE me some Renaissance and historical garb, especially when it comes to weddings. And costume weddings are always our jam. But not all corsetry and historical wear is up to wedding standards. Thankfully, designer Laura Elliot makes ultra high quality look easy. And it will make you look EPIC…
Peacock feathers, a pirate band, and lobster wrestling at this Derbyshire wedding
Becky and Adam’s steampunk-y wedding had all the trappings we love about steampunk AND some epic fashion including a lavender dress we crave by The Couture Company. On top of that, there’s s pirate band, tug ‘o’ war, and lobster wrestling. Yep, you didn’t misread any of that. It’s all there and it’s all fabulous. It all took place at The West Mill in Derbyshire, UK.
Don’t miss the bride’s steamy headpiece and the peacock feather details!
No shortage of loveliness at this Orcas Island wedding in Washington
Laura and Ben had a really incredible Orcas Island wedding in Washington that’s going to give you green eyes for pretty things. Like what, you say? Try felled redwood decor, succulent studded centerpieces, homemade steampunk-inspired pies, a “Smokey Porter” homebrew, and air plants (even in Laura’s hair!).
How to make antiqued paper for your historical or fantasy wedding
We’re getting married next month and having a pirate-themed wedding. Any bits of paper we needed (whether invitations, signs, or treasure-hunt clues) I decided to make look old and pirate-y.
This technique would also be great for medieval, historical, steampunk, fantasy, or Victorian themes. Some of you may have done something like this at school, but this is such a simple yet effective bit of DIY I just had to share it!
