Since we are Harry potter fans, and it was an initial talking point for us, we decided to add this to our theme. We didn’t want to go over the top so we added little touches. We’re both in Ravenclaw, so we went for a navy-blue colour palette. Our table plan was The Marauder’s Map, which was an obvious choice for showing our guests where they should be on the day. For the table flowers, we went with blue tulips, which are my favourites. For the wedding party, we opted for paper flowers made from the pages of the Harry Potter books. We wanted everyone to have their own cake, so we had custom cupcakes made with coloured fillings to sort the guests into their Hogwarts houses. We visited the restaurant at Bashall Barn and noticed that it was also a wedding venue. The team showed us around, and we fell in love with the rustic feel of the venue and the grounds, which made for amazing wedding photos. I had a room to use the night before with the bridesmaids, and we had exclusivity of the venue on the day. The favours were handmade wands that were slotted into the guests’ place cards. 24
