Amazing steampunk wedding couple!
I saw this amazing wedding on Offbeat Bride today – Ingi and Jay’s neo-Victorian, Steampunk, black and white, garden wedding. I know lots of you are planning Steampunk weddings, and I love seeing pictures of how they turn out.
This particular wedding was held at the Edgar Allen Poe Museum – how rad is that? It’s full of wonderful steamy detailing and loving friends. I especially love the brides wonderful answer to the question “What was your biggest challenge?”
I must say the biggest challenge of the day was when I managed to set myself on fire during the cocktail hour. My dress caught flame while I was in the kitchenette placing the wedding cake pulls into the wedding cake and just like in those now-not-so-funny videos on AFV, I was quickly engulfed in flame. I’m proud to say that I remembered to stop, drop and roll, which saved both most of my dress and myself. I quickly ran to the bridal room with my bridesmaids where we hacked off the burnt portions of my dress, pulled the melted thigh highs out of the burn wounds on my leg, ingested pain pills, chugged a glass of wine and rejoined the party. And know what? It was still the best day ever. He said yes and I couldn’t have been happier.
The amazing dress came from Bound By Obsession (see them on Etsy) and the cute hair fascinator is by Pinup Girl Clothing. I can’t believe I’ve never discovered either of these classy shops before, and I’m looking enviously at the Bound by Obsession corsets and emsembles. yummy!
