Tassles, corsets, and fans: the burlesque wedding eye candy of your dreams

Written by Catherine Clark

◆ At a Glance ◆

We’ve always had a penchant for a sexy and retro burlesque show at a wedding. And we usually see awesome examples that are totally share-worthy. I decided to wrap them all up in a bow for MAXIMUM EYE CANDY! Couples performing, amazing costumes, steampunk detailing, corsets galore, and so much talent… this burlesque wedding roundup is for all your lovers of this art form. Let’s look back at some of our faves… (slight NSFW warning for a few mild bums-in-thongs shots).
