Vintage-style makeup and hair tips from a burlesque performer
I’m a recently retired burlesque performer, so I have a lot of beauty products, and also some skills from years of gettin’ fancy. Here’s my vintage-style makeup and hair tips for a burlesque-esque wedding day look…
Martha & Daniel’s low-impact redwoods wedding (with many pretzels!)
Pretzels, a German cup ceremony, and astronauts — what do these things have in common? If you said this locally-focused and low-impact wedding in a super eclectic venue, you were right. Plus, you’ll also get some ultra valuable advice about pre-marital counseling. And don’t forget to spy the burlesque dance at the reception!
Diamond & Jack’s retro glam “show-emony” and after-party wedding
This is one of those drool-worthy weddings full of talented people performing and creating grand food-scapes and amazing retro decor. So get your green eyes out for some delicious love-tinged envy. Don’t miss the bride’s amazing corset dress, the sweet father of the bride walk down the aisle, the groom’s kilted hotness, and of course, his YO-YO PERFORMANCE!
Kitten and Lou’s drag king weds burlesque queen extravaganza
Susanna and Ricki, aka Kitten and Lou, are a drag king and a burlesque queen in lurve. After meeting on stage and falling in love while performing in an Atomic Bombshells revue, they have become the world’s showbusiest couple. Since Washington passed Referendum 74, they knew it was time to get hitched… in some serious style. A little camp, a lot of glam, and a hell of a lot of performances, it is a confetti and balloon-festooned show not to be missed.
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.
A rockabilly glam Aussie wedding with a little burlesque
Jacinta and Dylan, two Aussies, got hitched in a Castlemaine bar decked out in their chosen lush decor. Jacinta wore a handmade silvery mint green dress and Dylan wore paisley and a bow tie. But the best bits were the live band and BURLESQUE performance!
