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.

Wedding mermaid crowns for your inner mermaid

Skip the veil in favor of these MERMAID CROWNS

Whether you’re channeling Darryl Hannah from Splash (gender-bent remake incoming!), or going goth chic with an Ursula vibe, these wedding mermaid crowns with crystals, seashells, semi-precious stones, and even wood, are the final touch your seaworthy wedding ensemble needs.

Let’s peruse the many versions of this whimsical headpiece style: bohemian, goth, simple, and seriously elaborate. There’s something for any landlubber up in here…

Try to absorb all the awesome at this high tea wedding if you can

It was a steampunk meets Alice in Wonderland extravaganza for which we fell HARD. Chloe loves Tim Burton, Nick love steampunk, and they both love being different in general. This high tea wedding took all these themes up a notch with red silk and lace, mechanical clockwork, and seriously gorgeous fashion WITH top hats. Don’t miss the guests’ fashion, jam favors, and the bride’s red striped gown that slayed us dead.

An octopus headpiece for the bride of Cthulhu

When it comes to octopodes and tentacles, we know Offbeat Bride readers have strong feels. And we’re right there with you — give us ALL THE OCTOPUS GEAR! Speaking of, this octopus headpiece I spied on Etsy is the goth-inspired steampunk-y, unda da sea veil of our dreams.

A steampunk circus wedding with corsets, ringleaders, and the best flower girl you’ll see today

Circus peanuts, Doc Martens, a gorgeous mohawk, corsets, goggles, circus signage, and so many DIYed elements you’ll want to emulate — this steampunk circus wedding is a blast. The entire affair was a sensational DIY fun house full of costumes, intrigue, and sing-alongs.
