Ideas For A Magical Harry Potter Themed Wedding – Wedamor
If you happen to be a Potterhead then there is no denying that at some point or the other you have considered a Harry Potter-themed wedding. A lot of you may have dismissed the idea because it felt too far fetched and complicated. While there is no denying that this is not the easiest to bring in effect, it is not that hard either. With a lot of websites selling HP themed artefacts and skilled bakers and chefs who whip up delicious themed food which even the Hogwarts elves will be proud of you may want to give a shot at this. Here, we have listed some of the basic ways in which you can infuse the wizarding world into your big day.

Themed Invitations
This is the easiest way to add some magic to your wedding celebrations. If you are going for an understated style, then you can use a normal template but borrow words and phrases from the book.

Or be a little more dramatic and announce your engagement through the Daily Post. Rest assured that no one is going to misplace this invite.

Another idea is to have it in the style of a Marauder’s Map. Or just the address page can have this theme.
Ring Box
Another simple way to bring in Harry Potter is to use a themed ring box/ tray. Before you get appalled by the picture below, let us assure you that a book wasn’t cut up for this. This model is something that can be purchased online.
Snape fans, here is one for you. Also, the “Always” is very relevant for the occasion and is right on so many levels.

We cannot take our eyes off this gorgeous Snitch and the intricate detailing on it.
Potion Inspired Cocktails
Have custom made cocktails which are tailored to look and feel like your favourite potions? This champagne cocktail here looks exactly like what we imagined Felix Felicis would- liquid luck.
Create a special cocktail for the occasion and call it Amortentia.
Food & Refreshments
There are many brilliant chefs out there who can bake any cake that you want with any amount of detail. One example of this is the beautiful cake shown below which looks too pretty to eat. You can have any colour or flavour and just add a few elements like the Deathly Hallows, snitches and wands and make it look like something from the Great Hall.
The only downside to these cookies is that kids and adults alike are going to fight over it to get their favourite one. They look scrumptious and sure to be great hit amongst the wedding party.
Colour Coordinated Dresses
How about dressing up the bride squad in house colours? This will go down easier if they are also Potterheads otherwise it may require some amount of convincing to get them on board.
The same can be done with the groomsmen too and it is much simpler to do so as all you need here are house ties. For a winter wedding, you can opt for scarves or stoles in house colours.
If you want to play it subtle, then incorporate themes in your footwear. It will be covered by your dress but you will have the satisfaction of having brought a bit of childhood into your big day.
Wands As Wedding Favours
Wands and Hogwarts acceptance letters as return favours are a great idea. We know that we would attend a wedding just to get our hands on one of these!
Even if it is not possible to hold an all-out Harry Potter themed wedding, you can definitely incorporate it in some elements such as the invitation or the ring holder. Don’t forget to pin your favourite ideas.
