The Elvish Inspired Wedding!

I love The Lord of The Rings, and my favorite land in Middle Earth has to be Rivendell. It's so beautiful, and it's where the Elves are from. So I made the following inspiration board with it in mind. You could say it's kind of loosely based on the Elvish style, and there's many other ways to create a beautiful Elvish wedding. I will be making more Elvish inspiration boards in the future, but for now, take a look at the one I've just finished. Hope you like it! Click on the image to view larger.

Vines and Roses cake, White Rose and Stephanotis bouquet,  Lord of The Rings Invitations, Ithildin Elven Circlet, LotR Sword "Narsil", "Orlaith" Celtic Wedding Dress by Lindsay Fleming, Low Top Medieval Moccasins in White with laces, Mason Jar Lights, "The Shire" table card




I think the vines and roses wedding cake is a charming and simple cake that could work for an Elven wedding. Unfortunately I could not find who made this specific cake, but it gives you an idea. 


White roses and stephanotis work wonderfully for an Elven wedding, and here is an example of a bouquet of said flowers.


My dear friend Rachel sent me the link to the LoTR invitations, I love them! 


The Ithildin Circlet from Medieval Bridal Fashions is so lovely, and I think it's one of my favorite Circlets for an Elven wedding. Check out their other wonderful items as well, I'm sure you'll love them. 


The sword, I couldn't help myself, I had to include it. The Narsil is the sword of Anduril that broke but still managed to sever the One Ring from the hand of Sauron. It eventually became the sword of Aragorn Elessar, who married the beautiful Elf, Arwen. It would be a nice touch to have your groom wearing this sword for your Elven wedding!


Now, for my favorite part, the dress of course! I am absolutely in love with "Orlaith" by Lindsay Fleming Couture. It's medieval looking, has beautiful Celtic Knotwork, and is simple yet grand and elegant. It works very well for a bride with an Elven wedding.


Aren't those mason jar lights so very charming and pretty? They are a really nice touch that adds a bit of romance to the reception's environment. You can find them already made on Etsy, or you can make them yourself. I find it very sweet and romantic somehow if the bride-and-groom-to-be make these together.


A lovely thing to do for an LoTR or Elven wedding is to have each table's card at the reception have the name of a place in Middle Earth instead of just plain ol' numbers. The one I have in this inspiration board says "The Shire" which is my other favorite land in Middle Earth. Other places you can use are Rivendell of course, Gondor, Rohan, Weathertop, Minas Tirith, and even Mordor if you really want to include it, and many more places.


A helpful website where you can find even more ideas about Elven and other LoTR themed weddings is Middle Earth Weddings.

For a truly authentic Elven wedding, you'll want to include Elvish in at least a few aspects of your wedding. For resources about this beautiful language and much more visit http://www.arwen-undomiel.com/.


Aa' menle nauva calen ar' ta hwesta e' ale'quenle, that means "May thy paths be green and the breeze on thy back." In Elvish. :)
