Biker Motorcycle Wedding Theme

 Image by First Place Photography

Biker wedding theme is the hardest theme to pin down.  I promised you an inspiration board, but after spending hours and hours researching the theme, there is little solid advice on the internet.  The posts I've found are old, the products discontinued and its all over the map.  What I have learned is that each biker themed wedding is different.  Each rider is different, some are hard core, some are recreational cyclists.  Some biker weddings are traditional, some are off the radar.  One common thread is love and bikes.  

I decided to interview my friend who rides by the name of Fury.  She has been to numerous biker weddings and she rides her own Harley.  

Weddingzilla (WZ)  What's the one common thing you have to have at a biker wedding.

 Fury:  Beer!!

WZ: Tell me about a biker wedding.

Fury:  There isn't one biker wedding, there are biker weddings.  Some are traditional, church, dress and all that.  The bike is a theme.  They  pose for pictures on the bike and later ride off on the bike, sometimes leading the guest riders.

There are the outdoor biker weddings with everyone riding in on bikes with Harley t-shirts and leathers, kegs of beer, music and partying.  Went to one that was a pig roast and it lasted all weekend.  Some of the guys brought guitars and played.  Good times. 

Some weddings take place at the Sturgis run  or Daytona Beach's bike week.  They get married and party and celebrate in the streets or bars.  Sometimes they "wedding dress" and other times they don't.

WZ:  What do they wear?

Fury:  Anything goes! 

WZ:  I'm still confused!!  Thanks Fury!

I have learned that a lot of biker brides choose a Harley Davidson themed wedding.  They use black, orange and white as the theme colors or match the theme colors to their bike.  Harley themed items are easier to find on the internet, but some brides say just go to the Harley dealership and find items you can use for the wedding. 

For all the info you need on a Sturgis wedding, check out Sturgis Rally Weddings.

Do you want to get married on your bike in Daytona Beach during bike week 2011 ?  Bruce Rosmeyers Destination Daytona will have a huge wedding and vow renewal ceremony at 11AM on 3-11-11.   The Harley shop is trying to set a record for the most couples who get married on a motorcycle.  Check it out.

Biker Motorcycle Weddings

A friend of mine sent me some pics of motorcycle themed weddings. She asked me to help her with ideas on planning her own biker wedding theme. I've been to a biker weddings, twice in fact. The first one was delightfully tacky, the second elegant.

The first biker wedding was in a beautiful chapel in Florida near the gulf. A high school buddy was getting married and our old group decided it was time for a road trip. So we piled into two cars and headed on a 24 hour road trip full of craziness.

We met the bride the day of the wedding at the beach. The groom was partying with his old high school buddies. They both rode in on their motorcycles. The groom had their dog on his bike, the dog was (swear to God) the best man. The bride was a sweet tiny little thing, how she managed the bike on her own in a wedding dress was beyond me. Her bike was decorated in flowers and wait for it....sea weed. The bride walked down the aisle in her wedding dress, the groom wore jeans and a leather vest

The brides' mother wore a white bikini top, white hip hugger slacks, a see through white lace open blouse and white flip flops decorated with flowers. Her dad wore his biker colors. Her small son wore a tux! Silly me wore a dress.

The reception, what can I say? His family is uber conservative, his grandparents were old order Amish... hers...wild and crazy. It was unforgettable and loads of fun.

The second biker wedding was at a country club. The groom and all the groomsmen rode in on their Harley motorcycles dressed in tuxes. The bride arrived in a limo. The wedding was traditional. The reception had a huge Harley Davidson ice sculpture and a Harley groom's cake. Drinks flowed to the tune of a 20 grand bar bill. The groomsmen got tanked and turfed the golf course. The brides parents had to pay and are still pissed off. The marriage didn't last. :(

I'm working on a motorcycle themed wedding board. In the meantime, here are the pics she sent me, enjoy!









Love this pic!
