Diana and Vlad's wedding was an actual dreamland, and I don't think you're prepared for what your eyes are about to feast upon. They had three parts to their wedding and each was as incredible as the last: first, their gothic Romanian city hall wedding; a week later, their "Harry Potter in the mountains" themed reception; and finally an after-wedding photo session in Ireland, where they now live. It is just delicious from start to finish.

Araba and Jon's warming winter wedding is guaranteed to make you smile, and that's not something I say lightly. With a theme of 'love and family (but also Harry Potter)', if the photos don't make you beam, the words from the lovely Jon will! When asked what makes their wedding particularly alternative, he answered "I married the greatest woman alive... also, Kate Nash played our reception and it was awesome!" And that is just the start, my friends.

Low Key Wedding at Oxford University

Warren & Carmen

May 7, 2016

They met whilst both studying at Oxford University, so when Xandra and Steve got married that's where they wanted to do it. "We met at the Oxford University Mountaineering Club during our undergraduate studies," said the bride. "We had just moved to Edinburgh, so our initial plan was to have the celebrations there. Because we were not too familiar with the city, we found ourselves looking at wedding-packaged things, which felt too traditional. We eventually decided on Exeter College as a venue because it is a special place for both of us. From there, every detail had to feel awesome; I wanted every penny to support a business that I truly believed in and loved."

Rob + Kristen

Once they chose their Dracula and Halloween theme, the only date that Jessica and Andrew wanted to have the wedding was October 31st. "The wedding theme was 'Dinner at Dracula’s'," explained the bride. "I wanted to have the spookiness of Halloween mixed with the classiness of dining at with the Count. Harry Potter was also definitely part of my inspiration. I wanted long tables with tons of candles, over the top food bars, and an almost magical, other worldly experience for our guests."

Harry Potter Wedding at Hogwarts

OK, so Lewis and Cassie's wedding wasn't actually held at Hogwarts, but there ceremony venue, Manchester Town Hall, does have a striking resemblance! "Two words describe our wedding entirely: Harry Potter!" said the bride. "We got engaged at the Diagon Alley section at Universal Studios Florida and have always loved the Harry Potter films and books. It made sense to us to have a Harry Potter themed wedding and to take pretty much all of the inspiration for our day from the films. We wanted it to look quirky and classy but not like an 8-year-old’s birthday party which can sometimes be a challenge when you have a theme, especially something like Harry Potter!"
