Tentacle and octopus wedding ideas and details for beautiful briny sea weddings
Suzi and Paul share our fondness for the wriggly tentacled types that we’re celebrating this week in our mash-up theme of barns and tentacles (BARN–ACLE WEEK!). We scoured the tentacle archives and found steampunk octopodes, squid cakes, tentacle crowns, knitted cephalopods, and tentacle-covered accessories. Wrap your many arms around these babies…
Warm up with these boleros and shrugs
Are you looking for a cover-up for your colder weather wedding without sacrificing style? Babies, I’ve got you covered: check out Etsy Seller Chrisst’s amazing selection of boleros, shrugs, and collars. These styles work for vintage, Steampunk, goth, rocker, or fantasy styles, and quite possibly anything in between. Any of these pieces can really add some KAPOW to your wedding outfit, and you can wear them again and again with other outfits (how about dressing up your sexytimes? Lingerie + bolero = major unf). Let’s get inspired by the pretty, shall we?
Sandi Jo & John’s Neo-Victorian circus sideshow wedding
Inspiration can come from anywhere, but in this case, it came straight from the venue, [vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/the-quixotic-world"]The Quixotic World[/vendor-heart]. What once was a low-key tea party wedding became a raucous, burlesque “Gears and Garters” Victorian circus sideshow wedding! We’re talking corsets, hula hoops, clowns, and sideshow acts — all following a sweet handfasting.
Faith & Aaron’s steamy Muppet wedding with a touch of Stephen Colbert
This combination of themes may seem a little odd at first, but once you see it, you love it! We’ve got Stephen Colbert-inspired cue cards, spin drums, steamy Western/sci-fi garb (complete with ray guns), flame-powered centerpieces, and some sweet children’s vows. You might also be inspired by their half public/half private vows, too. Oh, and wait until you see the faux “ink bleeder” pen made by the groom for the signing of the marriage certificate! Totally bad-ass.
A dreamy steamy custom wedding dress from KMKDesigns
Are you KIDDING ME with this!? How incredible is this wedding dress from our sponsor [vendor-heart link="http://www.kmkdesigns.org/"]KMKDesigns[/vendor-heart]. Remember when I introduced you to KMKDesigns a few months ago? Well, Ariel and I did a little snooping on their latest creations and ZOMGBALLS, were we impressed.
