Amber & Marshall’s faerie-infused Renaissance wedding
Turkey legs, jousts, games, wench-y corsets, and a golden rose ceremony: sounds like a Renaissance festival wedding for the ages. And then add in the blessing from the king and queen, the adorable mini-chapel, and the tree-climbing uncle-with-a-camera, and you’ve got a wedding that’ll melt any garb-wearing Renny around.
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.
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.
