Kat & Earl’s handmade movie geek Disney-inspired wedding

Tradition meets tons of personalization with this Disney and movie-themed wedding. We’re talking illustrations from favorite movies, Disney centerpieces, 3D cut-outs, and lots of elements from their signature styles. It was both a dry wedding and a no-dancing wedding, but with Truth or Dare Jenga, scavenger hunts, a photo booth, and a gelato bar, there was no shortage of super-fun-ness. And just wait until you read the bride’s favorite moment. It’s like you’re there!

This Beetlejuice wedding had a sandworm unity ceremony

You may have already seen the sneak peek of this wedding’s head-shrinkingly amazing Beetlejuice decor, but you haven’t seen anything yet! In addition to the sand worms, Handbooks of the Recently Deceased, and the sculptures from the movie. There were silly vows, a sweet father/daughter dance, and of course, the amazingly accurate Beetlejuice officiant that would give Michael Keaton a run for his money!

This Beetlejuice wedding decor is shrinking my head in amazement

We shared Sarah and Troy’s wedding, but I need to share their Beetlejuice wedding decor as a stand alone post! That amazing groom gear, and her kick-ass wedding dress alone made me squee. But there are sand worms, shrimp hands, stripes, and Tim Burton-y wedding inspiration everywhere you look once you get to their reception.

When Comic-Con speed dating leads to wedded bliss: a nerdy theater celebration

Sarah and Shane first met at a Comic-Con Speed Dating event, and their love for movies, Doctor Who, and puppets brought them together. They got married at the Scotia Cinema in New York, where guests were greeted with popcorn and 3D glasses, and then peppered with trivia questions about the couple’s relationship.

A Game of Thrones-inspired wedding with a dash of Star Wars, unicorns, and a pet guinea pig

Elise and Dick are big fans of Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Battlestar Galactica. They wove their fandoms into a delightfully geeky tapestry, including decorating in Lannister red and yellow, hanging banners with iconography from the films and TV shows, and using blue and purple dragons as tabletop decor. Elise even donned a knee-length Lannister red wedding gown!

A Wes Anderson-themed Thanksgiving wedding

These two pulled in their family and friends to help out: it turns out they’re related to a minister, a florist, and the pair of photographer-videographer-DJs that make up Post & Beam Co. The love these guys have for nature is clear — there are so many animal and plant touches. These guys are also big-time Wes Anderson fans, and used a bit of the filmmaker’s style — especially with references to Fantastic Mr. Fox.
