A Hobbit Themed Wedding

Mkay, Y’all ready to see the most incredible Hobbit Wedding literally EVER!

Knowing they wanted their wedding day to feel like Bilbo's birthday party (from the Lord of the Rings movie), minus the impending threat of unspeakable evil—a Hobbit styled wedding was a no-brainer. Surrounded by people they love, lots of good food and medievel tavern music. They welcomed their guests to share a meal with them followed by them literally tying-the-knot at a hand-fasting ceremony. They spoke some of the most beautiful vows to each other and thanked every guest personally for the role they played in their relationship. Then they celebrated with lawn games and bonfire songs into the night.

Every part of the day was so intentional and focused on the couple's commitment to each other it was truly a living fantasy!

This intimate wedding was unlike any other, they got their Hobbit wedding attire from an Etsy seller, the flower crowns handmade from their friend and every single detail of the day had a tie into the couple and a strong Hobbit Wedding Celebration vibe. They DIY'd pretty much everything, their table setup, the food (the couple even made the soup), the centerpieces, the ribbon for hand-fasting and even the hand drawn map of the location (Middle-Earth style). OH, and they cut their cake with a sword!

It was a quintessential Hobbit Wedding experience!
