Get your sparkly on: today we’re talking about our favorite tiaras
The decision to add a tiara to your wedding day ensemble can be intense: how much glitter does one person’s head really need? If your answer is SO MUCH OMG, then you’ll be excited by several of the uber shimmery options in today’s post. If you’re leaning more toward the understated, never fear: there’s still plenty of you here. I know I’m not the only one who was loving the increeeeedible tiara the Jacqui wore during day one of her Cambodian wedding, so let’s dive in!
Joni & Jeremy’s medieval handfasting and archery wedding
Pink hair, custom medieval dress, and goblets of mead? I think we’ve got ourselves an awesome Dutch/English bilingual handfasting! Add in a rad archery session, lots of fantasy and medieval garb, and a fairy tale retelling of the couple’s love story, and you’ll never want to travel back to the present day.
Karen & Frank’s elven fairytale wedding
A little D&D, a little Lord of the Rings, and a whole lot of fairytale flourishes make this wedding a dream for any fantasy lover. We’ve also got sword arches, a sweet and teary first look, an element ceremony, a choreographed first dance, and a challenging custom-made dress (that was TOTALLY worth it!). Get out your Lembas bread and settle in for this one.
Get everyone involved in a maypole dance
A maypole dance is traditionally popular in areas like Europe to celebrate the first day of May. But Renaissance Faire goers have probably seen it done there too. If you’re looking for an activity to get everyone involved at your own fantasy/Renaissance wedding (or any, really), a maypole can be really good time.
