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.

Fantasy fandom mash-up: a Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings wedding

It’s Hogwarts and Middle-earth combined to form a most heavenly, super DIYed, ultra geektastic wedding in the bride’s hometown in Texas. Loads of time went into the handmade invitations, save-the-dates, favors, centerpieces, programs, menus, seating chart, boutonnieres, and KICK-ASS sword handle bouquets. Seriously, don’t miss those. The couple rocked their Hogwarts houses all night on the dance floor and cut the cake with a huge axe. It was a hug axe fun time. Puns!

A New York travel theme wedding as seen on @offbeatbride #travel #weddings

We’ve got your first class ticket for this travel-themed wedding

Julie and Leo love to travel the world, so a travel theme at their New York wedding at Bear Mountain Inn was ideal. Think boarding pass seating cards, a globe-inspired cake, and a globe guest book. Their ceremony was officiated by Leo’s brother with their parents standing by their sides. It ended sealed with a travel-themed paper airplane throwing exit. Don’t miss the unrehearsed sing-a-long to a Les Miserables song where guests sang different parts!

The title alone is enough to make me salivate over this bourbon-filled queer drunken gay glamour wedding. These two are ADORABLE and know exactly how to have a killer time dancing, dranking, and making sweet moments in their Pagan ceremony. Don’t miss how the wedding party went from strangers to BFFs dancing in a tub together in zero time flat.
