As you can appreciate I see a lot of white in my job. So when a wedding such as Faith and Michael\u2019s comes along, it doesn’t sit demurely in your inbox with back straight and ankles crossed. It hollers!<\/p>\n
This Victorian-era steampunk wedding is a creation of alternative Adelaide Hills couple Faith Gerhard and Michael Krcmarov who are certainly not your average bride and groom. To begin with, let\u2019s just say that the bride walked down the aisle to the sinister strains of the Jaws theme song. \u201cI\u2019m sure Michael didn\u2019t know whether to run or hide!\u201d jokes Faith.<\/p>\n
For those new to the term \u2018steampunk\u2019, Faith explains: \u201cThe steampunk genre is colourful, risqu\u00e9, oddly sophisticated and a little bit grungy \u2013 which is kind of how we see ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
Or, if you take a look at www.steampunk.com<\/a>, it is described as \u201ca sub-genre of science-fiction and fantasy that includes social or technological aspects of the 19th century (steam), usually with some rebellion against parts of it (punk).\u201d<\/p>\n Victoriana author Jess Nevins puts it more simply: \u201cSteampunk is what happens when goths discover brown.\u201d<\/p>\n History lesson aside, you can only admire the unconventional beauty of this themed wedding and the extraordinary lengths that the couple took to make it real for their 54 guests at Kingsbrook Estate in Currency Creek, SA.<\/p>\n From the amazingly authentic period costumes to the well-considered floral arrangements and the creative photography, Faith and Michael had a unique vision and \u201cdesigned and co-ordinated every aspect of our wedding together without argument or discord,\u201d says the bride.<\/p>\n She adds, \u201cWe have both lived lives far too colourful to constrain ourselves to the traditional palate.\u201d I wish I knew what that meant but it’s probably for the best that I don’t.<\/p>\n Congratulations Faith and Michael and thanks for livening up my inbox.<\/p>\n Photos courtesy of B Captured by Ky Luu<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Faith and Michael’s steampunk costumes were a creation of alternative Sydney couturiers, Gallery Serpentine, who crafted the period outfits using beautiful embroidered silk that Faith found online.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
