A galaxy themed tiny zoo wedding with tons of DIY

Our wedding was a mix of us wanting to keep it below a very certain budget and wanting to make it the most fun we could. The theme was sci-fi and we had fun with it. For starters, all of our centerpieces were hand-made by us, each being a scene from a TV show or movie we loved. These included Doctor Who, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Fifth Element, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. We also hid some dragons and unicorns in there as a reference to our favorite fantasy animals.

After nearly a decade together, Judy and Phil tied the knot at their alma mater of St. Mary’s College of Maryland. The two originally couldn’t decide on a theme, but man did they pick a good one in the end. They love a ton of fantasy/science fiction franchises, so it only made sense to call upon the powers of The One Ring, The Force, and The Ministry of Magic to get the job done. Just wait until you see their fandom-themed centerpieces and references to pop culture touchstones everywhere. Oh, and when elf ears are involved, I’m so in. Let’s see all the magic unfold…

Anna and Tanner’s Star Wars wedding featured a Darth Vader selfie station, storm trooper cake toppers, and ALL about the Dark Side. We’re talking Vader masks, Stormtrooper nails, an “I love you, I know” card box, and, of course, a lightsaber battle. They had one of my favorite Yoda-inspired signs ever, too: “To the welcome you are. Sit or sit not, there are no sides.” YES!

Their Star Wars wedding decor was exactly the droids we were looking for. Let’s take a look at their intergalactic awesomeness and geek out…
