Wedding Blog

As highly personalized weddings are becoming more popular, so are theme weddings–they allow a couple to exhibit their unique interest in a certain movie, culture, team or event. And the people at Middle Earth Weddings have figured out nearly every aspect of the Lord of the Rings wedding of your dreams (if that’s what you dream about, of course )!

Their site features a directory for everything from elfin cakes to the wedding hairstyle a hobbit might have–such a treasure trove of information!

The photos section shows some real-life Middle Earth weddings, and I must admit I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. I loved the subtle touches that people incorporated–instead of having a Gandalf look-alike officiate and forcing guests to show up in cloaks, the couples’ interest in LotR was manifested in many less overt ways.

If Arwen and Aragorn had a wedding cake, don’t you think it would have looked like this?:

Perhaps some scroll programs?

Or table names that correspond to ME geography:

I’m kind of hesitant to put this up in fear that Mr. Bluebery will decide we need to rethink our wedding’s decor (did I mention he’s a LotR fan in addition to being a Star Wars fan?). But I think it’s worth the risk, to show you all some cool ideas.

Even if an all-out Middle Earth wedding isn’t quite your thing, I really respect that these couples didn’t mind bucking (or shifting) tradition in order to show their own interests!
