So, you want to have a The Princess Bride wedding? As you wish.
For fans of the classic romantic-fantasy, a wedding inspired by this movie is sure to make your special day a fairytale. Lucky for you, we have compiled a guide on how to have a wedding that is “inconceivable!”
Here is everything you need to have the wedding of your dreams.
Choose a venue that is inconceivable
“Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us together today.” And you must ensure the venue will be perfect!
If you’re hoping for a wedding fit for a princess, consider booking a castle as the venue. Castle Farms is a picture-perfect example of a venue reminiscent of the elegant castle featured in The Princess Bride.
Or, perhaps you want to go more of the “cliffs of despair” route. In that case, a venue such as Cliff House Maine is a better suitor. Choosing a venue like this one by the sea is sure to make your big day mystical and magical.
Maybe you are the more nature-y type. Treehouse Point is a great fit if you’re looking for a more secluded, peaceful wedding. You will feel like you’re in an enchanted forest.
Magical Wedding Attire
“Farm boy, fetch me that pitcher.”
Westley may have started as a humble farm boy, but your wedding style can be anything but ordinary. Whether you’re channeling Buttercup’s elegance or Westley’s timeless charm, your attire sets the tone for the entire celebration.
Ladies, to channel that Princess Buttercup energy, you’ll want to choose a dress that is dreamy and romantic. Long, flowing sleeves, romantic silhouettes, jewels, and floral accents will make you feel like you’re going to be kidnapped by a trio of outlaws.
Men, do you want to dress like Westley? Look for looser sleeves, velvet suits, and nice boots. We wouldn’t recommend wearing a mask, though. That would overkill.
anybody want a peanut?
Here’s the fun part; choosing the menu. Charcuterie, pastries, meat skewers, and a medieval harvest table will make you and your guests feel like they stepped right into the medieval times. It will be inconcievable! (Okay, we get it. You don’t have to keep making the reference.)
For dessert, a tiered cake fit for royalty will be the cherry on top.
To keep along with the theme, try making signature drinks that relate to character’s from the film. For example, a dark rum cocktail with citrus and spice called the Dread Pirate Roberts.
Or, make a floral champagne cocktail with elderflower and edible flowers and call it Buttercup’s Garden.
The End
Your big day only happens once, and we hope all of you The Princess Bride fans are inspired. Make your wedding the most magical day possible. Remember, “This is true love. You think this happens every day?” Happy planning!
