Hire in some geeky wedding entertainment from retro gaming machines to DIY photobooths
ACTION SHOTS
Get yourself a creative photographer who can help set up some amazing action shots for you.
Bring out the light sabers!
It has to be said that Light Sabers are one of the best props for acheiving a Star Wars inspired wedding day. Especially when you add a creative photographer like Unconventional AJT Images, to the mix that can create photos like the one featured below! Make sure you check when its going to get dark and your photographer will still be there!
They can also be used to line your aisle after you’ve got married or to create a dramatic end of evening exit shot!
Themed wedding Props - Enter the Imperial Army
Well, maybe not literally fancy dress (unless that’s your jam!), but getting a couple of stormtroopers or even a Chewbacca along to your Star Wars wedding day really makes an impact! You could even get Darth Vader too! Unless you want one of your friends to dress up (which might not be wholly ideal) you can hire actors for a few hours to help create your own army. Or a Yoda page boy would look adorable! Get them in your photos, walking you down the aisle, or, even popping up in the photobooth like below!
Alternatively, you can get some funky shots wearing a Star Wars head piece. Check out this photo below of the groomsmen! Get creative!
Star Wars wedding accessories
Hand painted jackets are super popular right now – but how about this Storm Trooper inspired jacket for something personalised and one-off? We LOVE these creations from Shoodle Shoes – you can even get hand painted shoes for your special day.
Star Wars alternative bouquets and button holes
Those little touches can hold together a Star Wars themed wedding day. From button holes to custom bouquets, there are some creative wedding designers out there who can help you create them! How about a light saber wedding bouquet or a star wars themed felt bouquet. We LOVE the colour matching confetti as well.
Sci-Fi Wedding Entertainment
When planning the entertainment for your Star Wars celebrations, we love thinking outside the box. So how about hiring in some retro gaming machines just like the ones pictured from Retro Party Hire? Or grab some props and go DIY for your own galaxy-themed wedding photobooth!
At a wedding far far away...
How about some Star Wars themed Wedding Stationery for your wedding day? From awesome wedding invites to a spectacular table plan … the possibilities are endless. Try includes quotes from the movie or incorporate table names of your favourite characters or places.
Get creative with some star wars inspired action shots!
Leave lots of time for the all important photos and get creative! With the support of a great photographer the skys the limit!
