When it comes to your wedding, you should be creative. Be yourself. Add bits of flare to your event that speak to you and about you. What better time to be unique, than in front of all the people who clearly love you the most?
This is Ashley & Josh. Their wedding themes are incorporating several different and interesting aspects of their personalities. Each theme expressing something about them as individuals, as different as Batman and Superman. And as the perfect couple, like Princess Leia and Han Solo. Their creative wedding ideas piqued our interest, so we asked them to share some of the individuality they have tied into their wedding.
Save the date for May 4th! For any of you Star Wars fans, I'm sure you caught the themed date right away. "May the fouth...be with you" as the saying about Star Wars Day goes. A perfect day for our Star Wars loving couple to be wed.
In keeping with their Star Wars theme, they have chosen this 'Death Star' toy to serve as the ring bearer's pillow. According the Ashley, "This mini Death Star will serve as an alternative to a ring pillow. We'll just loop a ribbon through the rings and that little hoop on top of the Star, tie it off, and voila, awesome Star Wars ring 'pillow'". Additionally, the Star Wars tin will serve has a handy card box.
Music plays a vital role in Ashley and Joshs relationship. Accordingly, they have incorporated a music theme into their bouquets and center pieces. The flowers pictured here are made from card stock and sheet music. These amazing and unique flowers will be included in Ashleys bouquet.
Music also inspired these ingenious centerpieces made of melted LP vinyl records.
When we asked Ashley to share more about the notable "Star Wars Wedding" she replied "It's not just a Star Wars wedding though, as we're just trying to incorporate as much of our interests into this as possible. It's more like this big mesh of Star Wars/Superman/Batman/Legend of Zelda/Skyrim/Rock 'n' Roll and whatever else we can think of".
As you can see from the early planning stages of this wedding, Ashley and Josh have a lot of brilliant and unique ideas. What a great way to share your life, your hobbies, and all the things you love about each other, with your wedding guests! Each guest will get to experience a glimpse of Ashley and Josh's life together, and get to know them a little better on their wedding day.
Weddings should be as creative as the couples themselves, and we couldn't find a better couple to prove that than Ashley and Josh. Congratulations to this one in a million couple. We look forward to seeing, hearing and posting more about your wedding!
