Hey there everybody,
So my fiance and I are going all out and having a Lord of the Rings wedding. When he proposed his exact words were "Alright, I have only one stipulation. We get married in Rivendell." And of course I was all for it. Well now we are a little less than a year out and planning is in full force. One of our issues is we want this to be Classy Lord of the Rings; we want all the theme and beauty that LotR offers, but not a costume party. We have come up with several cool ideas, for instance, we are having a white tree of Gondor which is going to be our wishing tree. We also are going to have our table cloths have the maps of middle earth printed on them. But I would seriously appreciate any ideas anyone else has, any input at all. I wasn't one of those girls that planned their wedding as a kid, I just new I wanted one haha. I have read so many cool ideas for other weddings on other boards and would love the input. Thanks everyone.

Re: Lord of the Rings Wedding!
Another idea, include some of the music! Ahh!
Also, I am in love with that headpiece larrygaga posted, (the green and gold one) and think you should get it.
Also, you could have some fun with the seating chart - instead of escort cards you could make up a poster with LOTR scrollwork, or even the white tree in the middle.
I love this theme! I did a medieval theme for my wedding, and some of my ideas might work well for you, depending how far you want to take it. For example, instead of a coat (I had a winter wedding) I made my own cloak. You can really do a lot with simple jewelery pieces, especially like the headpiece PP put up.
I definitely plan on it! I will be posting pictures of my bridesmaid proposal gifts within the next week.
ETF: I have no idea why my boxes always mess up.
Um... there are several threads on other boards regarding why this is a bad idea. Please don't give cutesy gifts when asking your bridesmaids, or at least ask first in person or on the phone (and not in a group setting) and get the yes before giving the gift.
I'm not great with names from the movies or the lines. But are there any romantic lines between aragorn & the character played by Liv Tyler that you can use as a quote on your invites or favors?
Also instead of traditional table numbers put the number plus the number written out in elfin (or whatever language it is they use in the movie) so it would be 10 Ten
I'm thinking about walking down the aisle to "Concerning Hobbits", "Many Meetings", or "The Ring Goes South" from the Fellowship soundtrack. We are doing a fantasy/moon and stars wedding
. Can't wait to see more pics!
