Vintage frames, gears, and books: A spectacular British steampunk wedding

These two put a lot of thought into every aspect of the day — they designed their own outfits (including modifying purchased items when they couldn’t find what they were looking for) and combined their design and computing skills to create the bespoke invitations, stationery, and a website to match the theme. Adam’s mum and best man designed the centerpieces, and the pair had some of Adelina’s family’s old jewelry redesigned into unique wedding bands with a never-ending vine engraved on them. I LOVE!

Yes, please. You’ll also never guess how this pair chose their wedding date.
