This past fall, there was the lovely wedding of the gorgeous couple of Bonnie & Daniel. Their awesome wedding was featured today on the Weddings Unveiled blog, Completely Unveiled, which you can go here to read & enjoy. The amazing McLellan Style were the event photographers, and here are a few of the phenomenal images and details from Bonnie & Daniel’s day.
First off, their wedding style was Steampunk. Having a bit of a literary background myself, I was totally intrigued by the concept– here’s the rundown in a nutshell. Steampunk is a blended genre that’s part sci fi and part fantasy. It’s kind of a Victorian dystopia– think H. G Wells, Mary Shelly, and Jules Verne for a literary reference (or more modernly, or Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials series), and if you like videogames, kind of think of Final Fantasy’s visual style of FF VI. It’s about top hats and curly mustaches, a modernized victorian era style of attire, and a lot of rich and fanciful details. Daniel, our dashing groom, illustrates the style perfectly:
The bride and groom at the exterior of Union Station– what a perfect backdrop:
The bride’s bouquet was vintage inspired yet still modern, with the incorporation of the very Victorian pheasant feathers, cream & deep ruby garden roses, deep eggplant calla lilies, fresh sage and chocolate cymbidium orchids along with fern curls, ivory lisianthus, and coffee break roses. It’s one of those bouquets that you make and fall a little bit in love with:
I found this brooch (a vintage piece in a lot of jewlery) and had to incorporate it into the fully wrapped bouquet handle:
It really correlated well with the details on the bride’s empire waist gown with cap sleeves (swoon):
Doesn’t Bonnie look divine?:
The gentlemen’s bouts consisted of rich eggplant calla lilies with pheasant feathers, hypericum berries, sage, and fern curls:
And seeded eucalyptus, sage, calla liles, freesia, roses, and fern curls made up the ‘maids delicate clutch bouquet, with awesometastic pheasant feather accents:
To coordinate with the bride and embrace the vintage brooch theme, I found matching cameos for the bridesmaids bouquets:
The entire party together:
A wonderful couple with great style and class– Bonnie and Daniel!
