Owls, house banners, and eerily accurate Harry Potter details at Kayleigh & Dougie’s Scottish Harry Potter wedding

When you see the DIYed details of this Harry Potter wedding in Scotland, you’ll wonder if magic actually exists to make these details so amazingly accurate. We’re talking The Daily Prophet, a truly fabulous Honeyduke’s sweets table, house banners, wand place cards, a sorting hat, a phoenix cake, A Quibbler, an Azkaban photo booth, and real owls! The groom got a little surprise at the reception with a shout-out to his faves, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This one is a must-see, all you Potterphiles.

Jessica & Jesse’s Harry Potter wedding (with bonus Doctor Who) wins the House Cup

The reception was transformed into the Great Hall, wands were carried, quaffles were bounced around, golden snitch cakes were cut, tickets to Platform 9 and 3/4 were booked, and candles floated magically above it all… yep, we’re talking a HARRY POTTER wedding. We’re all Potterheads and Whovians over here, so adding in the Doctor Who details just put it over the top for mega love. Don’t miss the house gems, the house-themed centerpieces, the red butterbeer, and this gorgeously geeky pair in love.
