Sportbike Wedding...

Are you at ALL surprised we had a Sportbike themed wedding? If so, you're reading the WRONG blog.

As soon as the sparkly rock hit my finger we were planning a sport bike wedding. I knew I wanted something non-traditional (because that's me and because it would drive the traditionalists in my life CRAZY. Win WIN!) I wanted laid back and casual, my groom wanted something that made me move forward with a big wedding (his dream, not mine). We agreed on Tulips and Motorcycles, which makes surprising sense once you know us.

It started with a motorcycle engagement shoot. My DH spent more time prepping the bikes for the big day then we did himself... in fact, we were hung over and sleepy that day.

But the pictures looked amazing... it helped that our photographer was (is) amazing!

Thanks to Trigger Happy Photography

Although I should back track to our engagement story... Richard hid my ring UNDER the rearSEAT of my bike and when I went to swap the cowl there was my custom made ring. Weeeee!

If you're paying attention you may have noticed my
bike is NOT white... these were trial plastics as we
contemplated painting and sharpie-ing my motorcycle
last winter-ish. And points to you for paying
attention!

Ok and back to wedding... sorry I sometimes get lost in the BACK story, but you're all up to speed now.

So we're planning this wedding and trying to find every way to incorporate the motorcycles, without actually riding a bike up the aisle (which was discussed).

We planned a Motorcycle Tire Cake, with Alpinestar cake toppers...

We didn't LOVE the cake (we hated it), but the toppers were
amazing and our monogram just happen to read 'RPM', how
appropriate!

Boutonnieres with Ducati Hot Wheels in them...

Can you tell this is at the boys' house?

A signing board caricature of us dressed up in 'bridal' leathers...

I had customade necklaces made for my girls; which had their intials and a motorcycle charm...

And of course the surprise in my dress for Richard...

An Alpinestar Logo tucked underneath... he loves it!

Which matched Richard's belt...

Doesn't he look like a fashion model? What a stud!

The rest of the wedding highlighted 'us', but with less motorcycle including JAGER BOMBS as our signature drink, picture programs, sparklers and DC running shoes.

 

What a day!! Who knew a motorcycle themed wedding could be so awesome?!?!

I did!
