Beautiful Steampunk Wedding!

I may not be the kind of girl who sits around at age eighteen and dreams about weddings, but this post I found while derping around the internet for steampunk fashion just about blew me out the window. It's a gorgeous extravaganza of steampunk/shabby/rustic/vintage/I-don't-even-know-how-to-define-it style. And they managed to pull all that off without it getting cheesy or tasteless. Have a look for yourself!

Blaa Kannan Cafe in Akureyri, Iceland

Finding the ideal spot for a cup of tea (or coffee, if you insist) and a good slice of cake is of utmost importance to every steampunk. The best place for such, at least that I've encountered, is the Blaa Kannan (Icelandic for "Blue Teapot") Cafe, located in a dramatic Edwardian-era building in Akureyri, Iceland. I've visited it several times throughout the four days I've been here.
The food is fantastic, consisting of a daily lunch buffet, as well as more traditional cafe foods like sandwiches and some very good cake, accompanied by a reasonably large selection of teas. The rustic/steampunk decor is nearly as drool-worthy as the food.
