The red dress at this theatrical steampunk wedding is LIFE
Bethany and Adam knew their wedding would be one thing: theatrical. They both come from a theatre background and most of the wedding party are are artists and theatre technicians. They tapped into the collective skillsets to craft a steampunk soiree with a stunning red dress, gear details, gorgeous steampunk-themed cake, and luscious bouquets. The day of the wedding was a mad rush to decorate the venue, frost cupcakes, put together favors and centerpieces, set tables, and lace stubborn corsets. Let’s bask in the splendor of this theatrical steampunk wedding.

Karina and Colin’s wedding theme is going to be traveling among fictitious worlds — between movies and books and games. They’ll be featuring music from movie and video game scores, Postmodern Jukebox, and every table will have a different world theme. Since they’re part of their local steampunk community, it seemed natural to incorporate that into their engagement photos with outfits from some of our favorite steampunk vendors.
