Sort yourself into the houses of this magical Harry Potter wedding

Rebecca and Zach love their books and especially Harry Potter. They featured a few of their favorite works of literature in their ceremony and the reception took everything up to eleven. The reception was turned into a Harry Potter wonderland from a sorting hat seating chart, Daily Prophet programs, magic wands, Sorting Hat Ravenclaw cake(!), and a totally themed “Anything from the trolley, dears” sweets table, the handmade details were spectacular. Even their music from the soundtracks was magical.
