Ember & Andrew’s Mario Bros. meets Star Wars game store wedding

A Star Wars Sand Trooper, Mario mushrooms, and some retro styles all in the couple’s favorite game store — this is one geeky fabulous wedding. Wait until you get a load of the homemade Kransekake, their first dance story, and the bride’s lacey vintage-styled dress. Oh, and you’ll get a kick out of what the groom did with their Mario cake!

Emily & Branan’s Star Wars, wrestling, and badminton wedding

PEZ dispenser and Simpsons centerpieces, a baseball card guestbook, a huge styrofoam Yoda, and badminton birdie decor… have we boggled your mind enough yet? Oh, well then you may want to sit down for the groom’s outfit reveal. Think Randy “Macho Man” Savage at his wedding. It’s epic, but don’t miss the bride’s badminton racquet bouquet, Murder, She Wrote unplugged ceremony sign, and rubber ducky place cards.

Lisa & Adam’s Southern gothic nerdy wedding

These two gothically-inclined cuties totally know how to combine TARDIS cookies with elegantly dark decor, sweet vows with a gorgeous stage ceremony, and Southern charm with grace in the face of grief. This wedding had its share of challenges, but the end result was something to be admired. Oh, and just wait until you see how the father/daughter dance ended up one of the funniest moments!

An elegant Star Wars invitation suite, for a more civilized age

When we first thought about having a Star Wars-themed wedding, I knew I had to design all the stationery myself. Of course, we chose a theme that is already its own brand, but I didn’t want to just arbitrarily take from what’s already in existence, and I wanted something a little more elegant than geeky. So how do you create a “brand” or consistent theme that is totally geeky, with an established standard, yet still keep it elegant?
