Undoubtedly, every curious person will be interested in becoming, if not the main character at a biker wedding, but at least attending as a guest. A biker-style wedding is very strikingly different from the usual traditional one, not only in its manner of execution and outfits, but also in the high-speed vehicle in which the newlyweds will arrive at the registry office. Bikers are considered to be freedom-loving people who love adrenaline, speed, extreme sports and excitement.
Wedding on bikes
What is a biker wedding?
To celebrate a stylish wedding, bikers don’t need to think too much about finding the right paraphernalia. The main thing is that freedom of transformation will be the best trump card at their celebration. In this case, there is no need to hide your venerable tattoos under wedding suits; clothes can be very diverse, from ripped jeans to leather shorts.
By the way, if you are not interested in simple standard competitions, you can remake them in your own way or cancel them. Although, riding a bike and various high-speed pirouettes will definitely delight your guests. In a word, the wedding should go off with a complete “break” so that even those who were opponents of different directions would envy you. And it is not necessary to listen to annoying pop music throughout the celebration; in this case there should be “metal music” with steel playback.
Taken as a whole, a wedding in the chosen style is an unprecedented performance that includes a show and competition. And what is the price of one wedding procession of bikes, followed by hundreds of passers-by? A cavalcade of motorcycles is lined up in two even columns, and the bride and groom are racing ahead on a roaring bike. It won’t be difficult to recognize the bride among all those passing by on motorcycles, because she will definitely be wearing a veil.
Another difference between the bride and the invited guests is that she will have a wedding bouquet in her hands and biker makeup on her face. A wedding cortege of motorcycles is an impressive sight even for those who are afraid of speed and the roar of steel.

Vehicle for wedding
Naturally, a motorcycle serves as a mobile vehicle. Your celebration will definitely be remembered by ordinary passers-by at the registry office if you approach it in style and with numerous signals. A couple of bikers will definitely stand out from ordinary newlyweds and attract close attention.
After the official ceremony at the wedding palace, bikers have their own tradition - they will go for a ride on roaring motorcycles and notify everyone about their celebration with signals.
A luxury bike must be prepared for the celebration so that its breakdown does not upset the bride and groom on their special day.
Before registering the marriage, the bride and groom go to the registry office on different bikes, but after they are registered, the lovers get on one motorcycle. It’s very funny, but now the biker’s companion will be called “backpack” for life, namely by the person who sits behind him.
The newlyweds on their bike are the first to lead the column of motorcyclists, followed by the rest of the procession on vehicles. And now that registration is over, all the guests, led by the newlyweds, go to celebrate their event.
Wedding with extreme
Bridal outfit
In this case, the wedding dress depends on the imagination of the girl herself. She can not only dress in leather clothes and knee-high boots, but also in a transparent white dress. The main thing is that she will like and desire, that’s why she needs to get married. Although, a bride in a wedding dress on a motorcycle looks unusual and memorable. A white leather bridal suit looks very stylish at a wedding. It can be chosen either with a skirt or with pants. The shoes can also be replaced with high boots or biker-style boots.
When trying on her wedding outfit, the bride should know that she will need to wear this look all day, so its purpose is beauty, practicality and convenience.

Biker groom outfit
A brutal biker does not necessarily need to try on a formal suit with a tie or bow tie. The groom's outfit may well consist of his favorite leather suit with iron rivets and other attributes of a biker outfit.

Toastmaster for a wedding
At an unusual wedding, the toastmaster should be creative and in appropriate attire. The competitions he proposes can be accompanied by heavy music. For this case, rock or bard songs with a guitar will do. And in order for guests to be interested in participating in this action, they should be divided into two teams and invited to compete to their hearts’ content, giving small prizes to the winners. You can also hold competitions for the best expert of your bike, or organize real races on a desert track.
To become the most outrageous bride, get behind the wheel of a bike and go with your groom through the evening city. Do not doubt that by your actions you will definitely attract attention to your person.
And if you want to perform your first wedding dance, do it together with the groom, spinning on a motorcycle while the bikes siren.

Basic principles of organization
Such a wedding mostly takes place on the move, so one of the main rules for organizing it is to carefully think through the route with all the stops (for example, for a photo shoot). The route must not only be well thought out, but also safe for both the wedding procession participants and other road users.
It is best to organize a motorcycle parking somewhere in nature and set up wedding tents there in advance. They can save newlyweds and their guests from heat or rain.
You need to take care of food in advance - order delivery from a restaurant, or arrange with a cafe/restaurant near the parking lot.
It is necessary to take care of the transportation of those guests who will be without a motorcycle.
It is also important to check the serviceability of motorcycles so that they do not let the newlyweds down at the most important and crucial moment - for example, when the bride and groom are rushing at full speed to register their marriage. Nothing should stop them from effectively parking at the registry office!
Important! If the bride and groom have biker friends who like to break traffic rules, it is better to ask them in advance not to do this while the wedding procession is moving - in order to avoid unpleasant incidents.
Poses for a photo shoot on a motorcycle
Such bright props as a motik allow you to realize the most daring and unexpected ideas of the model and photographer. Before shooting, you need to select several poses that are most suitable for a particular person, and you can also borrow several images and poses from modern magazines. Please note that men are usually filmed while driving, while girls are more likely to participate in staged scenes on bikes. By the way, I wrote about posing for men here.
For filming in motion, you need to choose a flat section of the road where there are practically no other vehicles. You don't need to drive at high speed to get clear photos. To create the effect of a fast trip and a blurred background, 20 km/h will be enough.

Such photographs are obtained using autofocus tracking and long exposures in the hands of a professional photographer. Be sure to include a few shots of the driver negotiating a sharp turn in your photo shoot. These pictures always look especially impressive due to the change in the position of the motorcycle and the body of the subject.
You can take a photograph of a man standing near an iron horse and leaning slightly on the seat, crossing his arms over his chest, while looking into the distance. Excellent shots would be captured moments of preparation for the trip, for example, in a helmet a few seconds before the start.
Where is the celebration held?
Here are some options:
- Cafe, restaurant located in the lap of nature (with the ability to place all the tables or at least part of them on the street). The undoubted advantage of this place is that you don’t have to worry about food delivery.
- Parks, forested areas. You can organize a picnic somewhere in the park, on the shore of a lake or river, in a forest clearing. Be sure to choose a place in advance. You also need to take care of blankets and blankets, organize a canopy and barbecue with barbecue, and deliver all the necessary products to the picnic site.
Such a celebration is organized in warm weather in the fresh air, in spacious open areas, so as not to disturb the atmosphere created by a wedding on motorcycles. Photo of the newlyweds on a motorcycle in the park:
Where to celebrate a wedding on motorcycles
In most cases, motorcycle weddings are held outdoors. These can be forested areas intended for recreation, summer areas. Bikers love to have a lot of fun, so there should be enough space for everyone. Decorating the wedding venue with balloons and delicate flowers is excluded; instead, give preference to flags with images of bikes and skulls. The wedding entertainment program should include fun competitions for everyone. Don't forget about suitable music and treats.
Summer grounds
A motorcycle wedding can be held on a rented summer area of a cafe or restaurant with the possibility of placing tables outside the banquet hall. Such a celebration has an undoubted advantage: you do not have to order food separately, since the restaurant employees will be able to take care of everything, preparing hot dishes, snacks, and drinks for the wedding. Restaurants often have a host and musical accompaniment at their disposal.
Forested areas
A motorcycle holiday will be unforgettable if it is held among the beauty of nature. Many people will welcome this idea. A forest, lake shore, or river can serve as a place for a banquet. You can organize your wedding as a picnic, then you should worry about warm blankets and bedspreads for guests. Treats can include fruits, sandwiches, fish, and barbecue. For shelter from bad weather, organize your wedding under a canopy or the crown of a large tree. You can arrange a banquet like a barbecue party with several types of sausages and meat.
Clothes for the bride and groom
Choosing a dress for a biker bride leaves a lot of room for imagination. First of all, the bride must decide whether she will wear one outfit all day or change it by the time of the feast. For example, you can choose a classic wedding dress for registration, and change into a black biker suit for the start of the banquet.
So, as a wedding dress, the bride can choose:
- A regular white dress with a full skirt. A bride in such a dress will look especially impressive on a motorcycle. This dress can be complemented with a leather or denim jacket, or other elements - leather biker gloves, a tattoo, etc., which will highlight the style of the wedding.
- An extremely short white dress with a corset, made of fabric or leather. This outfit can also be complemented with a vest or jacket. And if you add a hat, stilettos and shoes, you can create a daring retro style.
- Tutu skirt, top, jacket and high boots;
- White leather suit with biker boots or over the knee boots;
- A fluffy and long white skirt with a black corset and a black jacket.
Whatever the bride chooses, it is important to remember that her outfit should please her and the groom first of all, and also be comfortable and practical.
The look will be complemented by bright makeup with bright lips and expressive eyes. The bride can leave her hair loose, tie it in a ponytail or backcomb it. Accessories should match the theme of the wedding - a bright photo or leather headband, large jewelry with leather or metal parts and without stones are suitable.
As for the groom, he can choose either a classic suit or the usual biker attire - jeans and a biker jacket, or wear the most ordinary classic white shirt with leather trousers, or even a shirt from noble times with a cut-out front. It is appropriate to wear rough shoes or boots on your feet.
Dress code for biker weddings
There are no special requirements for the outfits of the newlyweds and guests However, a biker bride usually opts for a short wedding dress or skirt, complemented by a leather jacket. This is explained by the fact that in a long and lush dress the bride is constrained in her movements, and the procession of bikers promises to be active and long. It is better to leave high-heeled shoes at home; it is optimal to take comfortable boots. A veil is unlikely to fit under a helmet, so many brides get out of the situation in the following way: the headdress is attached to the motorcycle itself.
Bride at a biker wedding
The groom wears jeans and a formal jacket. Guests prefer denim and genuine leather suits. A good tip would be to stock up on two outfits. Leave one for registration (classic), and use the second during the trip.
Example Scenario
Despite the unusual nature of a motorcycle wedding, the main points of the wedding program remain unchanged. The newlyweds go to the registry office, then ride around the city and take photographs, after which they arrive at the chosen wedding venue, after which the main entertainment program of the wedding begins with refreshments, dancing and competitions.
The wedding scenario on motorcycles is discussed in advance. The presenter may be dressed in the uniform of a traffic police officer. Thematic competitions and singing with a guitar are encouraged. Perhaps the newlyweds will want to add some extra excitement to their wedding: book a parachute jump, a hot air balloon flight, or at least a horseback ride. Since the wedding takes place outdoors, hunting or fishing can be organized. Performances by invited artists, fiery dances, fireworks, a buffet - all this can be included in the celebration program.
Menu
The menu for such a wedding is usually unpretentious. The main principle: everything should be simple and satisfying.
- If the wedding takes place in a cafe or restaurant, then the newlyweds choose the dishes presented on their menu.
- If food delivery is organized at the wedding, it can be anything, even fast food: pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches, French fries. If the wedding is held in a picnic format, then barbecue or sausages are grilled.
Attention! Food isn't the most important element of a motorcycle wedding; Bikers are used to eating simply and on the go - no one will expect gourmet dishes. We described the menu for an outdoor celebration in this article.
Spectacular celebration
No motorcycle wedding would be complete without a wedding cortege. Such a motorcade, which includes cars and motorcycles, looks very impressive and attracts the attention of all passersby.
The bride and groom can ride together on the same motorcycle. But if the bride knows how to drive, she can go separately.
It is important to organize the column correctly: steel horses are placed behind or in front of the cars. Motorcycles can ride in a checkerboard pattern or in a row.
What is suitable for a tuple
- American motorcycles with a lot of chrome parts;
- sports motorcycles that can perform various tricks, so they should be placed at the beginning or end of the wedding procession;
- brutal and powerful three-wheeled trikes capable of making a frightening roar.
You need to be prepared for the fact that bikers unfamiliar to the newlyweds, seeing the wedding procession, will want to join it. Due to this, the number of motorcycles in the procession may increase.
Ideas for a photo shoot on a motorcycle
Having good imagination and desire, you can realize quite a lot of ideas. Just a few years ago, a beautiful motorbike was a rarity on the road, and taking a ride on it or taking a photo was out of the question.
Many people had motorcycles with sidecars or rattling mopeds gathering dust in their garages. But I didn’t particularly want to take pictures or ride on such a vehicle, only out of great necessity, putting on an ugly but obligatory helmet.
Nowadays, fearless bikers are crossing the roads, easily maneuvering in a continuous stream of cars, beckoning them to follow them. Perhaps everyone would like to ride such a motorcycle at least once or take a few pictures. Now this is much easier to implement.
Photographer: Maxim Gurtovoy.
For a photo shoot, you can choose a variety of poses, which depend on the model herself, her image and other accessories. Girls like to pose while sitting on a motorcycle and leaning forward slightly, the wind will play with their hair, and the sun's rays will add sparkle to their eyes. In such photographs, any girl looks especially attractive and sexy. You can also just stand next to the motorcycle, leaning lightly on it, or even sit down on the ground.
Particularly liberated young ladies can lie down on the seat of a bike and cross one leg over the other; such pictures turn out to be very daring. Don't miss the opportunity to wear a leather catsuit or tall boots. Having dressed in such extravagant clothes, there is no longer any need to think about a pose for a photograph, such a model will always turn out stunning. Any portrait shots against the backdrop of the iron horse are also a great idea. Complete your look with bright lipstick and be sure to let your hair down, and then it’s a matter of technique.
Photoshoot
A motorcycle wedding is a great opportunity to take original, bold, creative photos. The main characters of this photo shoot, of course, will be the motorcycles themselves - after all, even those who have never sat behind the wheel can take pictures on them.
You can organize both individual and group photos - for example, capture the entire wedding procession in motion, led by the bride and groom walking shoulder to shoulder on their motorcycles. Yes, years later they can please their children with truly stunning photographs!
MY MOTORCYCLE
Surely, many will be interested to know how the biker wedding goes? Surely, it should be different from an ordinary wedding, because bikers are people who love freedom and speed, adrenaline and extreme sports. What does a biker wedding look like?
First of all, bikers don't have to have a traditional wedding to get married. The bride and groom may not hide their tattoos and wear clothes that they do not like. Participation in competitions is also not required if the young people do not like it.
Bikers celebrate their wedding in such a way that both they and the guests enjoy it. Why torture yourself by listening to pop music when you can have a blast and celebrate this event the way your heart desires.
A biker wedding is simply an amazing, unforgettable spectacle. Imagine a wedding cortege of bikes. The motorcycle cavalcade is lined up in two moving columns - at the head, the bride and groom ride shoulder to shoulder on roaring motorcycles. Finding the bride will not be difficult, because she is wearing a white veil and holding a bouquet in her hands. What also sets the bride apart from other bikers is her wedding makeup. Only by these components can you find a bride among the wedding procession.
Transport for weddings
Surely it must be a motorcycle. A couple of newlyweds riding around the city on motorcycles looks very romantic, unforgettable and, of course, beautiful. The groom also brings the bride to the registry office on a motorcycle - this couple immediately stands out from the other couple getting married.
After the official ceremony is completed, the young people will have to go for a walk, and again, on bikes.
It is not necessary to rent some luxury bike, because you can travel on your own, but the main thing is that it is in good working order and does not let the bride and groom down at such a bright and important moment in their lives.
After leaving the registry office
After the ceremony at the registry office, the bride gets on her husband's motorcycle. Now his beloved becomes his lifelong “backpack” - yes, that’s what they call a constant companion who sits behind a biker on a motorcycle.
The procession forms a closed circle around the spouses. Everyone goes to celebrate this unforgettable holiday of love.
Biker bride's wedding outfit
Here a girl can turn on her imagination - the biker bride can dress in leather clothes and put on a white dress, which, of course, will look much more beautiful.
A bride in white is always beautiful, and if she is also on a motorcycle, then she looks unexpected, stylish and unforgettable.
We continue to talk about the bride’s unusual wedding dress.
It is important that the hero of the occasion wears the thing that she likes at her wedding. The dress can be the most unusual - this concerns the style and material. So, for example, a dress can be short, but if you don’t have the strength to give up leather clothes, then it’s quite possible to choose a white leather suit.
Ordinary wedding shoes will replace biker boots or high boots.
When choosing a wedding outfit, the bride should not forget that she will be wearing these clothes all day, which means that the outfit should not only be beautiful, but also practical, convenient and comfortable.
Biker groom suit
You don't have to wear a formal suit, white shirt and tie. It would be appropriate to put on your favorite leather suit and hop on your bike and then go on a journey with your beautiful bride.
Unexpected toastmaster
Yes, at such a wedding the toastmaster does not behave as usual. For example, she can dress up as a traffic police inspector. And wedding competitions are also themed. You can invite guests to split into two teams, each of which will depict a motorcycle with sound and movement. After the bride takes off her veil, you can tie a bandana instead of a scarf.
During the celebration of this solemn event, heavy music is played instead of pop music - it could be rock, for example. In the evening it would be quite appropriate to sing with a guitar. Such a wedding will certainly be remembered by everyone for the most positive moments.
Shocking wedding
To make the wedding more shocking, the newlyweds can ride on different motorcycles. Such a sight will attract the attention of everyone around, because a bride in a white dress driving a bike looks so beautiful, romantic and unexpected.
A wedding cake
For a biker wedding, the cake should be in the shape of a motorcycle. Such culinary art will skillfully emphasize the theme of such a wedding.
Summer wedding
At this time of year, you can abandon the traditional wedding celebration in the banquet hall of a restaurant or cafe. It will be much more original to celebrate this special event in the open air. You can celebrate a wedding on the territory of the recreation center - by the way, in this case you won’t have to rack your brains about where to put the numerous guests’ bikes.
Don’t forget about a motorcycle helmet - every biker needs one for safety reasons. It would be quite appropriate to update this accessory for a friend’s wedding. A biker wedding is a unique event, filled with freedom and movement, the brightest colors of happiness and love.

Photo shoot on a motorcycle for a girl
Agree that seeing a girl who drives such a vehicle is very rare. The weaker sex usually prefers to drive small cars with low power. Because driving a motorcycle is always associated with risk and danger, and therefore is considered for the most part a truly masculine activity. But the girls photographed near the bike always look extremely impressive.
Many protective elements designed for the king of the road can add special charm to your photos. A girl can put a helmet on her head or simply hold it in her hands, getting ready to hit the road. Special knee pads and leather jackets are suitable for shooting; all these accessories will enliven the resulting photographs.
Take a risk and wear your new beautiful dress for this photo shoot. A confident and fatal woman will look from the photo, ready for the most fearless actions. Increasing the degree, you can take several pictures in a bikini or semi-nude. Such photographs work very well against the backdrop of colorful landscapes, away from prying eyes.
A beautiful girl does not have to choose any specific poses. Being near the motorcycle, the model should enjoy every moment of shooting, and the photographer will catch as many good shots as possible through his lens, among which he will later select the most successful ones. The vehicle must be stable, supported by the footrest, so that the model can lean on it and not worry about her safety.
During a photo walk, a girl can try on a gentle and romantic image or show herself as a powerful person who is not afraid to face danger. The photographs will demonstrate the recklessness and confidence, tenderness and at the same time passion of the model.
Photographer: Maxim Gurtovoy.
This kind of shooting also allows the photographer to open up: he can experiment with light, take close-up shots and play with shades. A wasteland or a green meadow looks good in the background of photographs, and the view of a night city or sea will add an incredible effect to the photographs. A good helper can be the wind, blowing the hair or clothes of the model, giving the pictures naturalness and genuine beauty. Girls can sit on the bike and turn around, and it is at that moment that the photo will be taken. It will seem that the photographer called out to the girl and she casually looked at him.
There are a lot of ideas for a photo shoot on a motorcycle; this aggressive prop will suit absolutely everyone, regardless of gender and age. Don't be afraid to experiment; the results will only pleasantly surprise you.
