Steampunk Wedding

Anomaly Con: Sunday, March 31st @ 2pm

We are preparing for a trip to Denver for Anomaly Con! We hope you can join our presentation of photos and information about steampunk wedding artisans who use your family history to create a celebration to cherish in the future!

DIY crafts include mini-top hat favors and metal boutonnieres. If you can't join us, then read on for the highlights!

Eclectic weddings are individual, distinctive, and often a singular moment for the bride to the focus of the fanfare, especially if she’s starring in a steampunk wedding! This dress is a show-stopper, created by seamstress Lisa Sauter as photographed and shared here with permission from Ian Danziger. [Their links are below.]

Why the peacock? Here's a little history...

Peacock feathers are exotic and reminiscent of some Victorian society’s love of things ‘Oriental’. According to enthusiasts peacocks are native to southern Asia and Malaysia. Peafowl were extensively raised by the Romans and in medieval Europe, explains Laurie M. Johnson, editor of Gamebird.com. This look can be found today in current artisans.

These colorful birds were “kept for centuries by people first in China and then in Europe and America. The Phoenicians brought the peacock to Egypt more than three thousand years ago. Historical records indicate that Solomon kept several peacock species, among other pheasants, with the India Blue being his favorite peacock.” History is fascinating, but on with the wedding planning...

Reaching back in history to the Victorian era is simple with handmade fingerless lace gloves made by Seamstess by the Sea's Tracey Audrey from California. She can't join us for Anomaly Con, but she's sending samples for a raffle! I bought this pair & love them! Did you know most people have different sized hands; one is often a little smaller than the other. Tracey has a very useful size chart on her sight and makes all her gloves individually for just this reason!

One last teaser, our discussion in Denver will try to incorporate science and technology, steampunk standards, into the perfect steampunk wedding. Check out this perfect example of upcycling items into fabulous center pieces for the wedding reception. Imagine giving the groomsmen some time and space to invent! This photo is just one of the table toppers from our featured brides party. Also not the little light bulbs for seating cards!
