Where can I get Moroccan wedding outfits in or around London?

Harry Potter Wedding Ideas?

• My future Hubby and I are BIG Harry Potter fanatics. Serious die hard fans. No surprise when we both we would have an all out Harry Potter theme wedding. I know it may sound lame, but we LOVE the idea, and it's our day right? Why the heck not? Anyway, I'm having a bit of a mental block as to what to do for well . . . EVERYTHING!!! I had a few ideas, not sure if they're lame or not but, here they are. My hubby thought that the song that the bride walks down the aisle is overdone, so his suggestion was to have the harry potter theme song be played while I walk down the aisle. And although this next part is a fantasy and would NEVER happen unless i won the lottery or married a member of the royal family, a girl can dream can't she? The reception or the actual ceremony would be held at the castle the Harry Potter movies were actually filmed at. Wouldn't that be so cool??? I thought so anyway. Now, back to reality. The wedding is being held in England, most likely london. Were not sure yet. All of the guests on the guest list are flying in to come attend the wedding. So we'll have them come to a fitting to get measurements for their proper wedding attire, wizard robes of course! We would have an official sorting hat to sort them into houses to know which robes they would wear and which table they would sit at. We would have the four house tables, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. And the table that the staff would sit at, would be the bride and groom table. I am seeing about finding the Alexander McQueen fall 2008 peacock wedding dress that is the almost exact dress that Fleur wore at her wedding, but have it altered to be longer like the dress in the movie. t's a winter wedding, and were hoping it will snow so it will be more romantic. We would be having similar foods to those of the welcoming feast. Butterbeer, Pumpkin juice, and Bertie Bott's every flavor beans are a must at a Harry Potter wedding. At the actual ceremony, the priest dude has agreed to dress like Albus Dumbeldore when he marries us. We'll be sending invitations very much alike to the Hogwarts acceptance letters with the official stamp mark and emerald green ink. At the reception, were going to contact the members of some of my favorite wizard rock bands to see if they come and play at the reception. The top so far are Oliver Boyd and the Remeberalls, the moaning myrtles, the remus lupins etc. We want it to be sort of a Yule Ball wedding. We're having a LARGE special cake made of Hogwarts castle, with us under the Whomping Willow. So its a large cake of the whole grounds, the black lake with a mermaid head out of the water and she'll be singing the song heard in the golden egg retrieved in the first task of the Goblet of Fire Tournament. The quidditch field, Hogsmeade, Hagrid's Hut, the Forbidden Forest complete with the flying car from the second movie. It will be snowy too. Water Goblets, gold plates, food rising out of the tables, it's going to be AMAZING!!! I know it totally sounds lame but, it's what we love. He actually proposed to me with a sterling silver Horcrux ring, in the cold wintry weather in a white horse drawn carriage. It was snowing and SOOOOO romantic. He did give me a real ring. The most gorgeous ring i've ever seen. It was the Tiffany Novo ring, it's SOOOOOOO beautiful. The first part of our honeymoon will be in Florida where we will spend two weeks checking out the new Harry Potter theme park, Universal, and Disney theme parks. Then we're spending three weeks renting a beach house in the Outerbanks. You only have one wedding. Why not go all out? Well that's my story. If you have any suggestions of anything i could do to make my day more magical it would be most appreciated.

  I love this idea!! Seriously, don't listen to all those people telling you it's a stupid idea - you're 100% right, it's your day and you and your fiance should create a wedding that you are both going to remember. I love your wedding dress idea, gorgeous - is your fiance going to go more along the lines of Harry Potter's Yule Ball dress robes? I also love your cake idea - it sounds amazing. My suggestions to you are - instead of releasing a white dove, or a flock of them (like they do at some weddings), release a white owl; because having the wedding at the actual castle the movies are filmed at could be hugely expensive, try and find another castle (or castle-like building) around London that you could have the ceremony/reception at; dress your bridesmaids similar to Hermione at the Yule Ball (also a lovely dress). Enjoy your big day!
