Bend the knee for this epic, snowy Game of Thrones wedding inspiration
If you’re half as excited about the final season of Game of Thrones as I am, you’re probably peeing yourself. If you watched last night’s season eight premiere, you’ll be all ready to deep dive into the gorgeousness of this Game of Thrones wedding inspiration that seriously channels some of our favorite characters.
Floating candles, cloaks, & a patronus cake at this mystical Harry Potter-inspired wedding inspiration
When I imagine all the things I’d want to see in a Harry Potter-inspired wedding inspiration shoot, I imagine floating candles from the Great Hall, quotes from the books and films, magical cloaks (or at least magical-looking!), tiny details like horcruxes and snitches, a gorgeous themed cake… and oh wait. That’s what THIS shoot is all about!
A costumed royal Renaissance affair with a sword in the stone cake(!)
We love attending Renaissance Faires and have always wanted nice Renaissance costumes, so we decided to have a themed wedding. Our wedding was Renaissance-inspired and we encouraged guests to dress on theme as well. Nearly everyone showed up in costume to have a merry time. We even got to reuse our Renaissance outfits the next weekend while attending a Renaissance festival.
A Midsummer night’s dream meets Alice in Wonderland fantasy wedding
I decided early on I wanted to be a mystical fairy goddess for the wedding. We are both nerds, so there were many "easter eggs" hidden in parts of our wedding for people to find, from "game over" music at the end of the night to messages hidden in binary code on our save-the-dates. We are both feminists, so it was also very important to leave behind the more traditional, patriarchal, gender-specific parts of American weddings. Don’t miss the flower crowns on BOTH of them!
Have you seen these hand-painted Disney heels yet?!
I spied this luxe pair of heels and noticed that the soles are hand-painted with imagery from Beauty and the Beast! The artist who will custom pain your heels is Ashton Atelier and you can have your soles adorned with Disney faves like Rapunzel, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, and more.
The bottoms of your feet can be just as stunning as the tops!
Mawwiage in tights: a Princess Bride meets Robin Hood: Men in Tights wedding
There’s one definite way to get me excited about a wedding: tell me it’s a Princess Bride meets Robin Hood: Men in Tights theme. I am not worthy. Kaitlyn and Blaise love all things cosplay and Renaissance so it made perfect sense. We’re talking groomsmen in tights, two themed dresses and a crown for the bride (one that she made!), elf ears for everyone, and costumes galore including Gandalf, Dr. Strange, and Sonny and Sher-wood.
