5. Accessorize the Bride’s bouquet. Regardless of your blooms, add in an old pocket watch with a chain or a gear pendant for instant steampunk style.

6. Wear gloves Choose dark gloves of any length and either add a chain or wear a massive bracelet over them.

7. Wear rough letter footwear Whether shoes or boots, wear them with your wedding dress to highlight the contrast.

8. Accessorize the Groom Adding small details, like a gun cylinder, will change a classic suit or tuxedo into a steampunk work of art.

Offer your guests fans, binoculars, or lace parasols to create continuity in your pictures. Although steampunk style is all about the details, those details don't have to take a lot of time to pull together.
