You want your wedding to be perfect. And this naturally applies to those who’ve boldly committed to non-traditional affairs. But we’re faced with challenges that more traditional brides and grooms just don’t have to tackle. For example, if you’re going to have a Steampunk wedding, how do you really convey a sense of the neo-Victorian era? Or how do goth brides and grooms establish a suitably macabre atmosphere?

Well, there are of course lots of answers, but here’s an original solution: go Hollywood. Who else could offer set decorations and props that look straight out of your favorite horror, fantasy or sci-fi film? And here’s how you do it: 20th Century Props in North Hollywood, California, is auctioning off its inventory today through Saturday as it’s going out of business.

Period lighting galore.
