A steampunked bride has been installed to complement the wedding wall, which features more than 130 photographs, dating back to 1924, showing couples who held their wedding reception at the Oamaru restaurant.
Restaurant owner Lisa Pope believed the steampunk movement, which Oamaru has embraced, was "awesome".
Steampunk enthusiasts held regular meetings at the restaurant and she has even put a sign saying "Steampunk (Secret) Clubrooms" above the door.
Corriedale farmer Greg McEwan, who won last year's inaugural "steam-junk" competition, has given two of his inventions to display in the courtyard.
Mrs Pope fancied a steampunk wedding dress to display in the restaurant and Barbara Chapman, who was in the restaurant one day, said she would give it a go.
Ms Chapman, who has been heavily involved with the Waimate Edwardian Heritage Group, "went everywhere collecting bits" to make the creation dubbed Madison Garden, Mrs Pope said.
Ms Chapman described Madison Garden as being born to be a bride, but "nails and spikes scattered her path to the altar".
Her garter was made out of screws and there was even a restaurant theme with teaspoons and strainers incorporated into the design.
Mrs Pope was happy to hire the size 12 costume - "I'd love to see who would like to get married in it" - as the outfit was very wearable.
Contributions to the wedding wall were still being gratefully received.
"It's history," she said.
