Steampunk-Themed Wedding

11 March 2021
If you’re looking for an original wedding theme and have already searched online, you’ve likely come across the Steampunk wedding trend. After all, there are countless ways to pledge eternal love, and every couple does it in their own style. You express your deepest feelings best when you share a familiar ground—something you both know and that reflects your personal aesthetic.

That’s why it’s crucial to fine-tune every detail on your wedding day and choose the style that perfectly embodies your vision of love. Curious about what Steampunk really is and how to plan a Steampunk-themed wedding? Let’s explore it together.

A Literary-Inspired Theme

Steampunk is a truly distinctive motif not often seen at weddings, since it isn’t traditionally associated with romance. It’s a cultural movement inspired by literary pioneers like Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. Steampunk style feels like diving into the past and discovering the future. It plays with time by blending anachronistic elements and advanced technology—imagine a Victorian era outfitted with steam-powered engines or computer keyboards. The result is a fascinating world of gears and gadgets where the old meets the new. When executed with elegance and flair, this unconventional theme becomes wonderfully romantic and entirely fitting for a wedding.

The Unique Features of a Steampunk Wedding

Such a distinctive theme sparks the imagination of any wedding planner—and of the couple themselves. A vintage car for the grand entrance is a must-have at a Steampunk wedding. Simply choose a classic vehicle from Ghisu’s rental fleet to make a striking first impression.

Your photographer can get creative with the venue—shooting the couple from inventive angles, highlighting intricate details, or using abandoned buildings that perfectly capture the Steampunk vibe.

Table settings can be decked out in mixed-metal accents—think brass flatware or metal centerpieces. Iconic Steampunk elements include clocks, cogs, keys, iron, copper, leather, and brass. The key is to give this aesthetic a more romantic, less industrial feel.

To achieve this, let your imagination truly take flight. Steampunk also evokes hot air balloons and zeppelins, lifting hearts as well as spirits.

Style Beyond Décor

Steampunk isn’t just about décor—it’s a lifestyle. A Steampunk wedding gown typically echoes Victorian silhouettes with layers of ruffles and varied hues. Some dresses feature ombré shading; others reveal leather-bound corset details. The most sought-after color palette fuses off-white with black, but what truly enchants a Steampunk bride is a billowy tulle skirt and oversized bows, evoking a genuine Victorian lady.

The groom’s attire often includes a formal frock coat accented with a top hat and cane, a waistcoat that showcases a pocket-watch chain, and studded leather boots instead of classic shoes.

You can mix these elements freely or use them sparingly to add character without forsaking tradition. After all, what could be more traditional than daring to have fun with family and making your wedding day truly unforgettable?
