We are nerding out over these custom toasting flutes, glasses, and geektastic gifts

We got super lucky and stumbled upon Glass Cannons via this wedding we featured. I basically went googly-eyed when I spied the etched glasses paying homage to their favorite fandoms (read: Magic the Gathering!).

They’ve got toasting flutes, shot glasses, and quirky drinkware galore. And if you have an idea in mind for glasses that mach your wedding theme, they’ll absolutely do a custom set for you…

Our geekdom runs deep and we're known to throw themed parties, so settling on a single fandom felt forced for an event of this magnitude. Instead, we decided to put a little bit of everything we love together for a truly unique experience. For a while, though, nothing fit together. Plus, we were annoyed by traditions that felt were “expected.” So, we identified what really mattered: bringing the people we love together and staying true to ourselves.

Then something clicked for our theme: inspired by a wall in our home covered in fictional maps. We chose a Pop Culture Travel theme!

Jon Snow & Ygritte’s happy ending: Game of Thrones wedding inspiration (with real “direwolf!”)

If you’re as obsessed with the real life love story of Game of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie as I am, this Game of Thrones wedding inspiration is going to blow your mind. In true Stark style, Jon Snow and Ygritte get the ending they deserved — a gorgeous outdoor ceremony and reception at The Longhouse with a backdrop full of antlers, swords, house banners, faux furs, and a real live “direwolf” companion.

Winter is coming: a Game of Thrones winter wedding in Atlanta

Jessi and Moose got married in the mountains of Georgia, on a Wednesday in December, to celebrate the Winter Solstice. Moose is a chef, so he and his friends went to farmers markets to buy all of the ingredients for the food, and then their friends in the industry cooked it for everyone that weekend. Jessi revamped her mom’s wedding dress to wear and it looked AMAZING.

Best part? Their wedding was Game of Thrones-inspired, partly due to the fact that the couple and many of their friends attend renaissance faires and events regularly. Don’t miss the epic capes, swords, and wintry flower crown!
