Steampunk Wedding: Bridesmaid Accessories

This series of entries were originally posted by the wedding planner to her own blog:  www.thelunaticandtheswan.blogspot.com

Almost immediately after announcing her engagement, the bride had already purchased the bridesmaid dresses from a fantastic local designer called Moshi Moshi. The color and style of the dresses have been a starting off place for the rest of the wedding's color scheme. I am thinking a great way to add a touch of steam punk style without heavy doses of clockworks will be to use the dark Victorian femininity so prominent in steam punk fashion. Here are some really lovely steam punk accessories that I think would look great on the bridesmaids at Andrew and Emily's wedding!

I am thinking feather fascinators, lace, and boleros...

This rooster feather headband by mandiesuee has beautiful colors and textures.

This feather fascinator by PegasusMaiden matches the colors of the brides maid dresses perfectly: coppery reds, black and shades of white.

This lace necklace by treeandkimball would accentuate the black lace and pearl details in some of the bridesmaid dresses.

This black silk bolero by maryandangelika would add a victorian element to the bridal party's ensembles.

It's that time in the wedding planning process to start buying wedding accessories.  And since it's the bride's special day, why not look at some special accessories with a steampunk flair just for her?

This raw silk bolero by maryandangelika would be a really lovely way of giving her outfit a bit of edwardian refinement.

This bolero by bonzie is also made from raw silk and would be another gorgeous way to keep the bride's shoulders warm.

Though this particular vintage parasol sold by GraciesCottage might be a bit too shabby for the bride to use as is, it is still a truly exquisite piece that definitely evokes the antique style I associate with steampunk.

This small parasol sold by VintageWarehouse is for a child and might not do much to protect the bride from the elements, but it would certaintly add an elegant touch to her ensemble.

This lace clutch by recycledrings would be the perfect combination of useful and beautiful for any bride to carry around.

These bridal cuffs by bonheur are a delicate adornation for the wrist and filled with sumptuous textures.

This bouquet by buttonmoonbouquet would be a delightful and unique alternative to flowers, and these button blossoms would last forever!

After a brief holiday break, the business of wedding planning has started to keep me busy again. I spoke with the bride and groom for the Autumn Wedding I am planning, and after looking through some collages in her "wedding idea book" I suggested incorporating some steam punk aesthetic into the decorations, as a way of having something a bit gothic and Victorian without too much black. As usual, I turned to Etsy as a way of exploring some really beautiful handmade touches capable of adding a unique, steam punk touch to the celebrations.

These table numbers by AdornedbyDana have a pretty victorian design that would add sophistication to a wedding tablescape.

These place cards by happyhound have a stately feel that would add an aristocratic and antique touch to the decorations.

This vintage style signs by the backporchshoppe would be a great way to guide guests in the right direction while adding a charming visual effect.

This ring pillow by Joyananda is a quirky but exquisite piece that would add a very special touch to the wedding ceremony.
