Lord of the Rings Middle Earth themed wedding

Alyssa, on November 13, 2018 at 1:08 PM Posted in Style and Décor 1 33
Ok

i guess if I had a question it would be that I’m looking for comments and opinions

i dont even know how to upload pics so jm hoping the links work

OK, as the Post says I have a lore of the rings theme. Basically we’re going to have Gandolf the white officiate and my niece is going to be Frodo the ringbearer we also will have my dad walking me down the aisle is Gimli and then joining My fiancé as a groomsman then Boromir and Faramir the other two groomsman.

Since the female characters are limited I was going to let people dress up as which ever one they want it so I’m going to have more than one because it was a sexiest time lol

I’ve been shopping all around and decided to do my reception With each table representing a place in middle earth.

Will have Minas Tirith, the shire, Moria, wilderland, A troll cave, a troll horde, erebor, Gondor, Rivendell, Lorien,, Mordor, Rohan, Mirkwood, the old Forest, And emyn Muil.

For flowers I am using the origami roses and Callalily‘s made from tokiens works

Colors are dark blue white and silver and gold

Each table will have its own design pattern every guest table and most the others will have a unique centerpiece and each will become part of our badass lotr collection after the big day

im think no rehearsal

for or wedding party gifts we’re thinking tankard style beer mugs with prancing pony logo

favors will be 1 wine glass with 1 ring wording etching around top and lemon cookie with lotr design

im wearing a blue dress and using a blue with white fur lined cloarks for bridal party mine with white out theirs with blue out probably

im Also planning to use manzanita branches spray-painted silver with gold leaves glued onto represent him a Mallorn tree in winter for Lorien. Putting tree in blue base and using led tea light and beads in vase to give more effect. piece of driftwood with glazed rocks (so they look wet) and miss as base for old forest centerpiece so I can get some height



im sure I’m forgetting more than I listed but such is the nature of the beast lol

all opinions and comments welcome

and ideas for what I’m missing

we are providing our own open bar (pretty full) and doing pulled pork, rotisserie chicken, green beans, corn on the cob, and Mac and cheese with lemon cake donuts and undecided cake flavor probably apple with Carmel filling and cream cheese icing

im doing break style apps for wedding party while we decorate and get ready and then after supper doing all style food again because I feel like people need food with alcohol

ok i I really gotta leave it there for now lol

    The first icon you see when you post ( it’s a picture ) is how you’re able to upload pictures.

    This is an international public forum. I highly recommend removing your personal information.


    Best of luck with your wedding planning. Seems like you already have lots of ideas.

    You also have your personal email and phone number on your wedding website.

    Internet security is important. I'm going to flag this for your own sake.

    I enjoy the LOTR books & films so I think this is a really cool idea. My only advice would be to make sure the themed decor looks cohesive when put all together. Table cloths would look better if you stuck to one, or maybe 2 colors, so that the room doesn't look to busy. You can use table runners or cloth napkins to tie into that tables specific theme.


    For favors, this is a know your crowd thing, but I would leave the wine glass and ring there and only take the cookie. I just got rid of all my mismatched wine glasses and upgraded to matching sets so I would not be interested in taking one home, however I would drink out of it for the night.


    Food sounds great, I would suggest doing at least one of the desert options as something more typical since not a lot of people like lemon (I love it though!) or apple flavored desserts.

    I love this. So much. LOTR theme is so cool for a wedding.

    What about a family-style dinner on farm tables? We did this for our pirate reception and it was awesome. It could work well for LOTR too:

    THAt was the original plan

    until i I decided my ocd needed me to make the floor layout of my places correspond with a map of middle earth and the paths that the stories follow, roughly...

    so so I switched to mostly round to have more room to manipulate positions

    Because I’m super crazy Insano

    no one will ever even know... except me... and anyone I happen to tell

    but yeah

    there is it: crazy at work... that’s only 6 months into 18 months of planning

    im going to shoot for as many details as possible lol

    Ah, got it. The coordinating tables with middle earth map makes sense.

    Just FYI, the wedding day is a blur. Most guests won't notice the details. Focus on big ticket items: table centerpieces, seating chart, guest book table, table place settings. In our wine cave, we decorated four alcoves with unique decor which included things like a big of wood with our names stenciled onto it and a weird old photo which actually had my hubby in his theater days--nobody noticed! Some people didn't even notice our Disneyland Fortune Red place cards-which were on their plates. But they were wowed by the overall look which included a few life-size skeletons, orange-red uplights, wine barrels, life-size treasure chest, accordionist and bartender who dressed like pirates, and of course the amazing wine cave complete with an authentic earthy smell.

    Where's your venue?
